    People should definitely become vegan or vegetarian though. Anything that comes from an animal is not healthy

    And no, I don't think about eating meat anymore because once you know how to make the diet work for you your cravings literally banish. It's about eating enough carbs (good ones) to keep you satisfied. Whole grains do wonders to give you energy and eliminating cravings. I became vegetarian mostly for ethical reasons, but I really did dig into the health aspects and it's really beneficial!

    Eating too much of something is never a good thing as people say... So you are of course a vegetarian... Have you ever considered eating meat again? And is it your ethical opinion or for Health reasons you don't like eating meat?

    Meat and dairy has been linked with heart diseases and different types of cancer. Overall, taking them away from your diet is the healthiest thing you can do. You just need to know how to do it right. Lots of fruits and eating enough calories and carbohydrates. Which is plenty. And to the other commenter: everything has protein. You can find protein anywhere. Plus, too much protein can also be a bad thing too.

    I mean think about it, eating another species when we are not carnivores (maybe not even omnivores, probs not) and drinking the milk meant for their babies (which is supposed to make the calf grow twice it's size in a week) can't possibly be healthy. They inject hormones and yeah, not natural or healthy. I'm not trying to attack anyone's eating habitd by the way, I'm just trying to clarify a bit.
