The long, LONG, LONGER list of VEGAN-CAUSED health ailments, diseases, and deaths..

70. Well, old friend, we are in the process of going vegan

I say "going" because we have been at it for four months. I can't say we are tempted by meat or dairy as yet. As a matter of fact every day is a kind of adventure in food. Personally if I have a good vegetarian marinara or picante sauce I can eat about anything.

My wife has been type 2 diabetes for probably 15 years. Two and a half months into it she had her usual tests and her numbers just knocked the doctors socks off. All numbers in the ok range for the first time in a long long time. I finally had a blood workup for the first time in - well can't remember when at @ 3 months in. All my numbers were fine which shocked the NP. My blood pressure is in range, but with medication so far. When I started it was way out.

Frankly I don't care what anybody eats. Please just don't try to push your preferences on me. This works for us - leave us alone.

We went to a party in late July and immediately some folks asked "What are you doing?" We told them and immediately we heard the counter "you need meat protein" three or 4 times.

Had some interesting side effects. I used to have terrible, terrible (4 Claritin a day) allergies. They are pretty much gone. Our skin now has a glow to it. And the weight loss has been a real plus.

So whatever works for you is wonderful.

If someone wants to sell me on meat and dairy I ain't buying no more.

We were persuaded by our kids showing us "Forks Over Knives" if anyone cares.
