About 5% of the American population eats a plant-based diet (aka is vegan). Research is converging on the notion that eating more animal foods leads to more disease. Animal food production has also devastated our oceans, waterways, land, air and rain forests.

Some are 100%, which is difficult given the proclivity for manufacturers (food, clothing, medicine, cosmetics, etc.) to use animal products. Some are 90% (that’s where I am), either because they are doing it for health reasons, or they admit having vices, etc.

Research shows that both of these groups live longer, and healthier lives. I believe this is a measure of success. Heck, being dead or sucking up medical resources and care and sympathy from everyone is no fun at all.

Interestingly, while the ratio of meat-eaters to vegans is about 20:1, good karma and better intuition of those on a plant-based diet seems to help vegans avoid accidental and violent death at a much higher rate. One more reason to switch.

If all four beatles are (were) vegan, and Madonna, Ellen, Bill Clinton, even Ozzy Osbourne are vegan, you can be vegan too. You just need to learn how.
