(27,670 posts)Going ROV would be a challenge for me, I love cheese, and I love to cook my vegetarian dishes.
I would like to try going totally ROV, to see what effect it would have on me, but I'm way too lazy to do all the work of creating a new diet. If someone were to buy all the ingredients and prepare the food for me, I'd start tomorrow.
As it is, I'm really very healthy and happy as a vegetarian, so I don't feel some dire need to go vegan at my age. But I have no doubt that a vegan diet would be superior. Much of what we are is what we eat and drink. I was an organic farmer at one time, and one important thing I learned from growing plants is this:
By providing the best conditions possible for a plant to thrive, nutrient balance, pH, correct soil texture, sufficient water, optimum light and temperature, etc, I would get the healthiest, most productive plants possible.
Really, it's a no brainer. Put the right stuff into your body, and it will help maximize your personal physical, mental, and emotional potential.
