    I am a lot like someone you've met, though you've never met me, based on a URI ! lol

    Truth is, half or not, factory farmed meat is killing us, either through disease, anti-biotics, deforestation, water consumption.

    Changing the factory would have positive benefits.

    I've been vegan for 15 years, no supplements, and my body chemistry is normal. ymmv

    Omnivourous capability means we can do away with meat as much as it means we can eat it.

    Go sit in the mall & look at all the fatties and see what problems the food factories are helping create.

    Society is diseased, it needs a cure : Coke Zero is not it !

    Here's an idea

    Instead of growing food to feed the cows and having methane producing manure to contend with, we eat the food and not the cows !!

    Meat production (especially from cows) is a crazily inefficient way to feed ourselves and at 50x the water consumption of potatoes.
