Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I watched the documentary. Definitely gave me some things to think about. I'm going try to slowly get back into eating a more vegan meals again. It made me feel better and I need to get back to it. I find it hard to stick with but I need to so I can feel better again. The struggle is real.

To change means breaking a habit, which is hard. Once you develop a new habit, you will find little desire to go back. Hang in there. Each of your favorite foods is a different habit. 
Vegan diet saved Dennis Kucinich life
I tried the veggie whopper.
Amazingly good.
But double the cost of a real meat burger.
The "meat" is a bit mushy, a bit bland...no strong "beefy" mouth feel nor flavor....but a decent meat/high protein/vegan substitute. The price is $7.99 (compared to half that for real beef) so as usual,, vegan/veggie folk will have to pay a premium to avoid meat....but kudos to Burger King for getting nationals production of a meat substitute off the ground.
I've substantially reduced my beef/pork/lamb intake...and I know that 10-20% of the animal production for meat is adding methane to the environment - which is 20X more potent than CO2...so the more we boycott meat eating the better for our own personal health as well as our environment's

Good for you. There is more environmental damage from meat production than you mentioned, including destruction of habitat, water use and fouling, and medicines in the meat and water.
@EdEarl I was being generous by allowing the 20% figure; worldwide it's closer to 10-15%. If you have evidence to the contrary, please share...
@Robecology I didn't dispute your reply, merely included additional effects.
Plant based is good but I like to mix it up a bit... Moderation is a good thing..

I've been eating meat occasionally, but after watching this documentary, I shall further reduce my intake of meat.

Posted by OldMetalHeadThe hardest part for me is not falling back into old bad habits after meeting goals.

Posted by JonnaBononnaI had finally gotten back on track after gaining back most of the weight I lost a couple of years ago.
Posted by JurneeI have to say, as an overweight karate instructor, this is the one patch that I was ok with never getting.

Posted by DotLewis7 March 2020 - Diet Diary - Been quiet around here lately. I've not been on vacation, just keeping a low profile and trying to stay on top of things. Are those things incompatible?
