i have been seriously considering becoming vegan, or at least very greatly reducing my consumption of meats and dairy.
i have been reading and it seems a lot of our health problems in the usa come from our meat and dairy "and sugar and salt" and i look around me at work and I see all these people who are eating a lot of McDonald's and pizza and processed meats and they are literally dying from obesity , diabetes and heart disease and I just have to think there is a better way.
even my instructor in school had diabetes and he went almost entirely plant based and reversed it and he doesn't have diabetes anymore.
i think the word "vegan" having such a negative reputation is killing millions of people who have this negative impression of vegan and it turns them away from it.
gorillas pretty much only eat fruits and vegetables and the odd bug now and then and look at them. rhinos are full vegetarian and they are pure muscle
