@ifixcoinops I see this is a really long thread and I’m sure you’ve already gotten a lot of input, but if you’re considering it, there are plenty of good reasons to go vegan, the ones that stood out to me the most:
• we evolved from animals that eat primarily nuts and fruits, our digestive system looks like an herbivore. you will feel better after a few months of it
• very clear evidence that eating meat causes heart disease and colon cancer, which are two of the most common killers in America and in Men, and some evidence to show that eating red meat lowers your life quality and expectancy more than smoking
• the love for meat is basically a marketing campaign from agriculture companies. it is exactly the same thing as tobacco companies advertising that cigarettes were healthy
• in 2020 the UN researched how to stop pandemics. 6/7 reasons had to do with animal consumption and animal agriculture. almost every disease we can get stems to animal husbandry

If you want to learn more, discuss more, let me know. Sorry for resurrecting the thread, I only get on here once or twice a month.
