Love your post!
I grow up in a family of meat eaters. But just like you my parents, even though they thought I was crazy, respected it when I said I didn't want to eat meat anymore at the age of 12. It took me another 20 something years to become the 99% plant based muncher I am today. Sometimes I still eat eggs from the 3 chickens I saved from turning up at somebody's plate. The other exception I sometimes make is Cambodian wild jungle honey. Good stuff.
Eating a healthy mainly vegan diet has saved our lives. My hubby hasn't taken any medication over 10 years to control his autoimmune disease. Food, exercise and no stress are the medicines he relies on.
I agree a 100% with you. It's not because someone is vegan that this means they are healthy. Focus should be on real, organic whole foods.
Have a happy and healthy day 💚
Lovely to be connected here with you.Hi @amy-goodrich thank you for reading and enjoying my post. Well done to you also, interesting isn't it for us to feel that way so young? Are you deeply empathic?
Since I was a small girl I have always been very connected to all animals, more so than to humans for some reason. I think that's why I decided I didn't want to eat meat anymore. And then later in life, with my husband being diagnosed with MS, we saw what eating a mainly plant-based diet can do for your health too. Powerful stuff! Big hug to you too 💚
