I was a vegan at one point in time. It was the worst 4 hours of my life. I went around and told probably 300 people that I was vegan and started doing crossfit and made sure to post my workouts to facebook to let everyone know how healthy I was. Being a full time vegan and trying to save the world can be a full time job, it is exhausting. I think that is one of the main reasons that they are all in such great shape.
But seriously, there are so many benefits to veganism, but for me, I choose meat. I like to use my meat smoker and grill too much and I grew up in Korea eating at the beef and leaf joints all the time, so I know how good that last meal in your post was. Too bad I haven't been able to find a good one here in America yet. The Philippines sounds like it may be my kind of place to live though because the food looks good. My wife and I are moving in a few years to go travel the world and we were thinking of Thailand, but I have been looking more and more into the Philippines as well. If I do choose there, we will have to go out and get some food some time.
Yeah admittedly I felt lighter when I only had fruits and vegetables and my poop cycle was on point!
Definitely choose Philippines we have so many amazing places and Koreans practically are making this place a 2nd Korea with so many Koreans setting up shop, studying, retiring and having vacations here.
Definitely we can go out have some food and alcohol.
