(My stance on veganism on both sides)
(I myself have a vegan diet and have no desire to call myself a "vegan") it has a sort of negative stigma associated w/ it these days because of many vegans lack of empathy for other humans. I am a human being, what are you? Oh right, you are human too! I should love myself as I love the cow, the cow as I love the cat down the road and my neighbor. If you are trying to make a point be in conscious light. Make logical points if you will but get to the heart as I believe this idea of veganism transcends logic, it's very much a heartfelt "movement" one we should see as progress in the eyes of the individual. (We can see this in the increase of people eating less meat to lesson there human footprint and …show more content…
It is time we stop intellectuallizing and see veganism is a powerful and beautiful part of our planetary evolution as well as reshaping how we look at health (as it did my own). Vegans, please take off the mask for a second, see and know we are all human beings on our own journey. Sympathize a bit, this doesnt happen overnight. It took me 2 weeks of exploration through the logical arguements and heartfelt exploration too see as well as months of contemplative skeptisism. I would like to share something I dont often share. I had a wide range of health ailments ranging from candida and GI imbalances, as well, chronic migraines with auras and depression/anxiety. Light load ay? I descided it was time to try something new as i had little hope and motivation so I went for a top end blood test somewhere around La Jolla California, I was given a chart of foods I am reactive too, some other information on recommended foods, a little carrying chart of the foods as well as what my reactions to the food were. (Green = good yellow= semi reactive red= very reactive).. I was on this "blood type diet" for some time feeling all its wonder but still experienced some of my health symptoms but more mild. I had mostly plant based …show more content…
I genuinely felt oh well "my diet said I must eat meat so this vegan diet will be terrible for me". For a month on a plant based diet eating predominantly carbohydrates and some plant based foods I felt like crap I can only describe this "backwalk" that I did. When playing around with this diet I soon found I was intaking to much carbohydrates and began intaking more vegtables, fruit, and started being mindful when I ate, the pace at which I ate, balancing my oil intake as well as having a good amount of raw food. Everything I thought I knew became laughable and I started to realize what a creative expression health is. Health should be tampered with and be something to continuely integrate over time. Wow organic soy doesn't give you hormonal imbalances? Turmeric reduces inflammation I should start taking that daily? :) I should point out there is also this cleansing proccess that many experience when on a holistic plant based diet mostly those on a raw organic plant based diet (I had some first hand experience here). Lastly, and Ultimately I relised what a positive effect decreasing meat or eliminating meat can do to your health. Really it is important to see this all for yourself. If you are being
