Veganism

I have chosen to talk about Veganism.

I am vegan for ethical reasons. The suffering and death of animals in the meat/dairy industry is morally bankrupt, unsustainable and horrific for the ecosystem of the earth. However, I am also vegan for health reasons.

There is overwhelming evidence to support veganism as a healthier diet than an omnivorous diet. Veganism was the only diet shown to have reversed coronary artery disease, which is one of the leading causes of deaths in the United States, claiming over half a million lives a year according to some sources.

There is no essential nutrient that humans need that only exist in animal products. And actually animal products in general is shown to cause inflammation in the body. A vegan diet gets a bad rap because many people who try it don't feel good on the diet. That is for many reasons. Many eat too little in general, or too much fatty plant foods and not enough carbs, etc. A well planned plant based diet will fulfill all your nutrient needs and is safe to practice in any stage of life people are in, as confirmed by the American Dietetic Association.

I believe everyone should, at the very least, try giving up on meat a try. You will be joining a group of millions of people worldwide who have gone fully plant based, and the vegan community is Rising extremely rapidly, as more people are becoming aware of the health benefits of not killing animals for  food. You body and soul will be so much better for it.
