I love Explained, very educational. I watched that episode. I never could understand why meat eaters can’t bear to watch things like dominion but have no problem consuming animal products.

@Wildgreens My Nephew once asked my late partner (she was the director of the private school he once attended so he had a lot of respect for her) why vegetarian. She explained lots of facts and he listened respectfully. At the end he said he could never be a vegetarian and she replied he meant he didn't want to be one. After some reflection on that he agreed. Most people can pretty much do anything they put their mind to.

@JackPedigo
Thank you for sharing that.
It’s in what is truly important to you.

But what kind of fat? Plant based fats are also good.

@JackPedigo moderation is the key.. not too much of this or that.. spread it around and all will benefit

@Cutiebeauty For some of us there is no moderation in meat products. I added a link to a video. People need to wake up to their enabling of an industry that is helping to rob our progeny of a decent future.

@JackPedigo dietary choices don't have to be 100% this or that.. just imagine the changes that would happen if everyone decided to cut down on animal products just a little instead of insisting on a total rejection of all...

@Cutiebeauty Agreed, and that is how a lot of people become vegetarian. It was how my 2nd partner and I were converted. Took a couple of years but we eventually got the message. Going cold tofurkey is often too hard especially when one has a family.

It saves when you go plant based. Just to give you an idea as far as cost here’s a chart. I cook for 6 people at home including myself. Children are the biggest critics. The 3 year old is involved with me in the kitchen. I’m teaching him healthy eating habits in hopes to last him through adulthood. We create things together and we brain storm. He is obsessed with anything green. Yesterday we had green burgers. He loves our green pancakes. The other day it was red pizza crust that he was fascinating with.... endless possibilities that are affordable. Meats are actually expensive in my opinion and they cause inflammation. Every child deserves the gift of great health.
