At my house we are about 95% vegan. It is now the norm for us, and we like it, although you may find it to be weird, because it’s different.

It has helped us avoid going to the doctor for the past ten years or so, and makes us feel good about helping our animal friends and the environment.

About five times per year, sometimes at major holidays or celebrations, or sometimes when our bodies crave animal, we’ll buy some fish or fowl,
always wild, always organic, or perhaps get a pizza or an omelet, from a carefully selected vendor.

You may notice that there are often recalls of food for bacteria or other problems. Nine times out of ten, these are animal foods. The latest is eggs,
but many times it is ground beef. A lot of health problems (such as the entire football team that got muscle cramps the other day) are caused by
food additives, that are meant to cover up rotting animal foods, or make them taste or look appealing. Not what nature intended.

If you want better health, take baby steps towards eating vegan. Try a meal with soup, grain, vegetables and beans. If that seems like it’s not
enough, add some mushrooms, nuts, seeds or fruit. Chew it well and appreciate that you have food, while so many others don’t.
