No, I'm not unique, there's a lot of people my age that are giving plant strong a try, there's also a lot of people who REFUSE (and openly admit) to hang around me and my family, just because we eat plants.
Let me tell you about something really cool, one reason to eat veggies (& lots of them) is phytochemicals. What are phytochemicals? So glad you asked, phytochemicals are nature's disease killing army. There are more phytochemicals in plants than we can count & we haven't identified most of them yet! For instance, broccoli & cabbage sweep toxins out if cells, beets peppers & tomatoes fight cancerous changes in our cells, apples & oranges protect our heart vessels from damage, danage that can cause heart disease. And that's not even the tip of the iceberg!
OK so we need nutrients, doesn't meat have nutrients? Well herein lies my beef with meat. Meat is mostly made up of macronutrients (proteins, fats & carbohydrates) and sorely deficient in micronutrients (vitamins & minerals). While you do need macronutrients, meat just contains entirely too many of them! & not enough micronutrients. And let's not forget the poisinous chemicals & growth hormones injected into animals. |
