i am not a vegan but do limit and carefully select the animal protein I do eat. I do my best to buy grass fed beef and non commercially raised meat from local farmers who farm humanely and I am very concerned about the GMO corn feed that is cmmercially used. And I am also concerned about the excessive use of soy in plant based "health" products.
What did occur to me in this discussion was, if we ever all went vegan, what would become of all the animals. If they could be raised and slaughtered in a "healthy" way we pprobably would all be better off. Who is to say that it isn't so much the animals as food, but more about the quality of the food from the animals that is creating the health challenges. That goes for the commercially grown produce as well, that gets sprayed and gmo'd.
It really is impossible to compare what is available commercially for us in this day as opposed to the produce and grassfed cattle grazing on plants and grains grown in vitamin rich soil in yesteryears.
Just my 2cents.
