You are 100% free to do as you wish and eat as you wish. This is only information, what you do with it is up to you. Read The China Study it will prove a lot to you. Sadly most of these grievances you have listed you most likely have only listened to the TV and heard it from a news anchor. Perhaps I'm wrong, but look where the funding of the study came from, and most likely you will see it came from either big phrama, dairy and egg board, or some form of the animal agricultural industries which have lost of money and huge pull. Do you think huge industries that have big money invested want to decrease their profit by telling the truth? I doubt it. Take some time and do some unbiased research you might realize that what you're eating IS KILLING YOU. I grew up with a dairy farm, being taught that butter, milk, and eggs were good for you, now I cannot say that I think the same way since I've been finding a lot of research out there that points towards the complete opposite. Cancer is not something that is normal until you start feeding it with bad processed things. There are some studies out there that PROVE a whole food plant-based diet can improve or totally reverse heart disease and diabetes. Those are REAL results in every day people who accrued disease because of their diet and environment. If one "diet", referring to more of a natural whole food plant-based diet can work for everyone why isn't it worth a shot? Plus it doesn't involve killing innocent animals, so I find it a win-win. I honestly just wish to inform people of what I have learned and found to work, again you are free to do what you wish with it. Peace be with you.
