Is this the right major heading for this group? [View all]
Not to sound cruel or heartless where animals are concerned, but I am interested in the health benefits of a vegan diet. It cured me of lifelong hypertension, (190+/90+ to 115/70 in 6 weeks) so I can't take anyone seriously who pooh-poohs it. But I wear leather shoes and leather belts, because the cow they came from has already passed through McDonalds by the time I buy the belt, and nothing I can do will save the cow's life. Nor will my boycotting the one leather belt I buy every 10 years or so, shut down the leather industry.
However, eating vegan will save MY life, and the more people who realize that the more likely it is that we can put an end to animal cruelty, as a byproduct of saving our own health.
That said, however, I don't identify principally with the animal cruelty issue, which is probably why I never found this group until I asked where it might be. Shouldn't it really be under "health". That, of course, is just my humble opinion.
That said, here is what I tried to post in "Health" that got locked for being "off topic"
As far as I am concerned this is solid science, but because some self-proclaimed "skeptic" declared anything vegan to be "pseudo science" this post was forbidden in "health". Their loss.
