Every day I see statistics, comments and news related to this topic, I am not vegan nor vegetarian but I would like to include this diet in my routine. They will wonder why I do not? I tell you that I do not apply this way of eating to my days simply because I live in a country that does not allow it. I am Venezuelan, I live in Venezuela and as you know my country is going through a very bad economic and social situation. Here nothing is economic neither fruits nor vegetables and much less seeds that without saying that you get very little variety of everything related to food. Here we can eat only what we have, or as far as pocket allows. Anyway, I just want to show you how little it is for the one who has the opportunity to have a healthier life to apply it. They knew that a huge amount of crops and water is needed to raise the animals on the farms. You need up to 13 pounds of cereal to produce 1 pound of animal flesh. Instead, it would be much more effective if all those plant foods were destined to feed all people directly.

Eating meat not only harms animals, it also harms people. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, vegans are less likely to develop heart disease, diabetes, cancer and high blood pressure than people who eat meat. Vegans get all the nutrients they need to be healthy without the need to eat meat of animal origin. There is a variety of savory and sweet dishes that can be prepared and even divine. If we know how to use fruits, seeds and vegetables well, we can have all the nutrients we need in our bodies.

A vegan saves 100 animals a year. I am not against the food chain but I am against animal abuse.

Excellent post👍
