The Kind Diet

In light of some recent discoveries on my part, I have started to seriously consider becoming a vegan. Now, I am not this huge animal rights activist...I'll leave that up to the animal lovers, not that I hate animals..I just don't have any attachments. What I care about are humans. I don't think animals should be treated the way they are, but technically we aren't even eating animals. We are eating genetically controlled and created species...that definitely don't exist because of evolution...these animals did not evolve to be huge, hormone, pesticide filled creatures, they were created to be such. They were created for mass production...and because Americans need everything, and they need it right now...people have had to resort to changing hundred year old traditions to accommodate the populations demands. Funny...how we can change this tradition, but touch the marriage tradition and people scream. But that is another subject entirely. Anyway, my consideration to becoming a vegan is because I am a typical American...I diet, but I don't change my lifestyle. I think I am in need of a food makeover...and as my research progresses I am finding the vegan lifestyle to be suitable. For instance...some good points that stick out in my mind are such: humans are the only species who drink milk after their mother's breast milk has run dry, and to make even more of a point...we don't even drink our own species milk, we drink another species...NO OTHER SPECIES does that! Milk is meant to grow babies bigger and stronger, but once they are done breast feeding it is no longer needed..this is why humans don't produce milk all the time. Oh its because we have evolved you say? riiggghhhttt....also, if farmers are pumping their animals with hormones, and hormones make us "bigger" and allow the animals to gain weight, then essentially we are also ingesting those hormones, making us gain weight. Not to mention the fact that pigs longest walks are to their deaths, and chickens are now genetically manufactured to be born without beaks, and cows are fed meat, even though they are herbivores. This is just some of the things I have read. I have been inspired recently to take a responsibility in what I am putting in my mouth. I think if people knew where, and how their food was being made...America wouldn't have the largest obesity population, and that diseases that have sprouted out because of obesity would cease to exist. We don't need "cures" or "diets"...we need education.
