Vegan?

Watched the free Netflix show about "why to be a vegan" and i almost bought it. There were too many facts to avoid .. cholesterol causing one of the leading causes of death in America (CDC), and the fact that cholesterol only comes from meat and fiber only comes from plants.

Now, watching "Forks not Knives" - also on Netflix - unbelievable PROOF that meat and dairy products are causing the American healthcare crisis. The "American diet" is appalling and the damage it does directly can be seen in science described in the film.

Basically, that heart disease and cancer EXACTLY match the amount of meat consumption in each of the countries studied. In fact, eating a plant-based diet significantly reduce ALL of the following issues:

diabetes,

hypertension,

chronic fatigue,

dandruff,

anxiety,

depression,

degenerative diseases,

cancer,cancer,

cancer... the list goes on (where we spend the most money - many times the defense budget - is on health care in America) and we are the "richest" and "free-est" country there is?

Talk about quality of life! This can also be seen in the documentary "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" - did I mention I love NetFlix? - which made me go out and buy a juicer. Of course, when you take the fiber out by juicing, you have to add fiber back in - I use this Acacia Fiber:

..and it works just great (i whisk it directly into the juice and drink right away).

Anyhoos, have had some trouble losing motivation and have slipped back into the sugar cycle.. and watch my weight go back to 202 from 198.3!! egads. Also just feeling blah and fat - i can feel it in my face and waist areas most and think that it just may be time for an all plant based diet. Watching all of the statistics linking poor diet to poor health, I just may be able to stick to it..
