    I went vegan. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m healthier, happier, and I’m helping animals and the environment. I also eat better, because it forces me to be aware of what’s in my food and make more creative meal choices.

    I don’t understand what you wrote about the WHO and plutonium.

      basically iirc the who cathegorized meat as bad as plutonium in terms of cancer risk but like last time I ate plutonium my skin was liquefying before my eyes and that never happened with meat. that being said, the choice of going vegan is not for everyone. for some it will be dire on their mind and dire on their health. physiology changes from person to person.
