i was raised vegetarian, so i've never known the other side. seven or so years ago, i attended a lecture by dr. neal barnard (zomg, he's tossing an apple! will he catch it?!? will he?!?):



i was amazed to learn how harmful animal protein was to our bodies. it was shocking all of the diseases and medical conditions linked to meat-eating.

all of my life, i was under the impression that my diet was healthy, as a vegeatarian, but suddenly i realized that i wasn't doing much better than the steak & ribs crowd.

i decided to become vegan and haven't looked back since.
