Hey Jerry, I didn't know that you were vegan! That's awesome! I feel the same way, it's a great way to eat that not only benefits your own health but to the health of the planet as a whole... Most people don't realize how much of the problems we are facing today comes down to our dietary preferences. From our ecological problems to our leading causes of death... all can be linked back to the food choices we make. There's so much to benefit from eating fully plant-based I think it's the way we're supposed to actually eat contrary to popular opinion. I think the idea that we 'need' to eat meat, eggs or dairy for nutrition is a complete myth, and that all we need is available in the plant kingdom and that's what where we should optimally be getting it from. Let your food be your medicine. Just because we've 'always' eaten meat(even though there's much more evidence of plant-based diets in historic times than one would imagine) doesn't mean it's the best way to thrive especially given the problems the world is facing. When slavery in existed it was acceptable for people to own other people as property. The same thing goes today, it's commonly held as legal, acceptable and necessary to raise and consume animals and animal products, but there's always that small group of people saying... hello... people... you know it ain't got to be this way? I know often vegans may come off as being preachy as food is a very touchy subject close to many peoples hearts, often people don't understand 'the harm' in eating meat, eggs or dairy but for those vegans - people who have had 'the privilege' of having their eyes opened to what is going on it becomes necessary to speak out because the victims in this whole scenario, don't have voices, and furthermore, we have victimized them(the animals) to such a great degree that we don't even consider them victims. Now just commodities. Most vegans will tell you veganism isn't really even that hard, because once you've truly seen a slice of the bigger picture, it's quite simple to make the switch and stay there. In fact most vegans, including myself are thrilled with it. There's never been a better time to do it and I am happy I did myself 3 years ago. Along with the alcohol as well which was shortly before going vegan. Anyways voting for you now! Keep up the good work 👍👌 Later!
