Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.
Most Medical doctors only get about 4 or 5 hours of nutritional instruction in med school..
The Pharmaceutical industrial complex likes to keep it that way.... Burn, cut and poison is their mantra... Remember preventative medicine ruins profit..

Like you I'm a Vegan cheat (about 28 days vegan with a cheat day thrown in). It's not for everybody but it works for me.. I have too many friends my age dyeing from the StdAmDiet.
If you look at the science, I mean REAL science. Placebo controlled, double blind studies NOT done by the industry prove that the standard American diet is killing us... Look at the areas in the world with the least amount of people who die from heart disease, stroke,diabetes and cancer and they eat a diet of predominantly fruits,nuts,grains and vegetables. Not much refined sugar, corn syrup, white flour or fat.
Meat is used like a condiment on rare occasions. Exercise is very important.. Don't like exercise?? WALK..
Ok off my soap box
