Are you stuck on cheese and chicken? You are not alone. Somewhere along the line, we tasted and we liked. And now we ain’t givin’ it up without a fight.

“It’s not fair!” you say. “It tastes SO good!” True enough. If your health is outstanding, and you have no complaints, I will not try to persuade you. There is a high
cost for eating these foods, particularly for the animals and the planet, but that is not enough to move a person. We need something that hits closer to home.

But these foods cause all sorts of health problems in our future. If you are under 40, and grew up healthy, you may be fine now. Heck, you may be fine into your 70s.
But more and more of us are getting creepy illnesses in our 30s and 40s, from liver and pancreatic cancer, to MS to Crohn’s Disease. Not fun. Not good for business at all.

My advice? Keep an open mind. Try some new foods. Quorn makes nuggets and patties that you would swear are the real deal. And there are several rice/soy/almond
cheeses that are decent (avoid casein–this is milk protein, not sure how they can legally call that non-dairy.

And pray.
