Why you should embrace Plant based Eating?

Being vegan or having plant based diet is not all about you/me and your/my health, but you/I can make it about you/me and your/my health. It’s about changing the thousands of years of cruelty towards animals for just mere personal pleasure of eating and sometimes for religious and cultural reasons. After about 3 years of not eating dead cows, chickens and other animals, I am living healthier than most of you. And I vow to go on living until I die without taking part of hurting any life that feels pain and suffer. I started it as an experiment to see whether I can function properly without eating meat and it turned out to be one of the best choice I have ever made in my life. I became more health aware, I taught myself about nutrition, I taught myself about alternative eating, cooking, I met some amazing people and made friends across the world who live only eating plant based food. And oh yes, you will never lack of any protein whatsoever, you just need to know what to eat instead of going to Macdonald’s and KFC and junk foods and all the unhealthy dairy based deserts you can imagine of.

I’m saying because if you can’t kill an animal with your bare hand(not saying that you should do that either) and eat, please don’t make the animal industry or farms do it for you and hide the cruel act. And I know that even after knowing a vegan, or knowing all the facts about how just not eating meat you can help reduce carbon emission to save our climate and the planet, even after knowing that just by eating plant based diet, there are number of athletes and olympians who made records, you won’t change. But that’s fine, because at least you should know that you are eating cows, chickens, pigs and it came to your plate through the cruel act of killing and you choose to participate or say yes to that act of cruelty. I know many of my friends while arguing bring the hierarchical food chain argument, I mean I will have to go much deeper to discuss that too, because that has the same root of how human injustice works too, I’ll save those talks for other days. I know many of my friends argue, oh there’s so much worldly problems out there for human being like poverty, war, injustice and I have no time to think about animals. And yeah, I guess I understand that sentiment because that’s exactly what I told my first vegan friend when I was 21 and did not know enough. I know that everybody chooses their fight and I am happy if you are fighting for one good reason to make the world a better place. But you can definitely add another reasons to live an even more ethical life with better health. And you should know that you have option to be not cruel-not to other humans and also not to animals. Go plant based. And be a man or woman of change.
