I have been reading the book "Skinny Bastard" (male version of "Skinny #%+%*") -  and wow. After reading through just the first 5 chapters I think I'm already on the path to becoming Vegan.

I know that all authors have their own biases, but after doing some researching of my own, I found everything in the book to be fact. I think I can do without meat, it's the dairy/fish portion that's going to be hard.

Here is an excerpt from the book:

Our enzymes, digestive tracts, and organs are all different from those found in carnivores. Like it or not, our kidneys, colon, and liver are ill-equipped to process animal flesh. Compared with carnivores, our intestines are very long, so food that doesn’t get adequately processed becomes clogged in our intestines. Animals quickly pass food through their digestive systems, but we have food rotting, decomposing, and fermenting in our intestinal tracts and colons; hence the need for colonics.75 You don’t see many tigers getting colonics, do you? You do see them napping, though. Even though their bodies are designed to digest meat, animals generally sleep all day while doing so because it is such a taxing process. Genetically and structurally, we are designed to thrive on plant foods.76 William C. Roberts, M.D., editor of the American Journal of Cardiology, said, “When we kill animals to eat them, they end up killing us because their flesh, which contains cholesterol and saturated fat, was never intended for human beings, who are natural herbivores.

my lady is a vegan but she doesn't mind me eating meats when we're out, heck she even cooks it for me.

I mean, I know being a vegetarian is healthy and stuff but I think the bigger reason I'm doing it is because of the animals. 10,000 times a minute, an animal is slaughtered in the most inhumane way. The way animals are treated is disgusting and sickening. We're eating as much chicken in one day than people ate in a whole year back in 1930. Like, I don't even know how to not preach about this after watching the documentary.

I'm looking into getting that book The Outermost House by Henry Beston.

But who are we to say that it's ok to treat and kill animals like that? We stay treating the less powerful like objects. It's pathetic.

nothing to argue with if the issue is the cruelty towards animals, i agree 100%. but on the nutrition side of things, while i agree a vegetarian/vegan diet can be healthier than an omnivorous one (let's face it red meat has a lot of carcinogens), a lot of the arguments he is making are based on faulty or nonexistent evidence. for example, cholesterol is not some evil compound but in fact a a neccessary component of our cells' membranes, hormones, bile, etc. eating too much saturated fat can raise our "cholesterol levels," but you could eat all the lean meat in the world and avoid these levels of saturated fat needed to cause it. diabetes as a result of meat? i've only seen studies liking processed red meat to type 2 diabetes, not, say, chicken breast. tigers getting cancer? cancer rates in humans have risen partly because more of us live long enough for it to happen to us. in the wild tigers live 10-15 years, any cancer brought upon by a carnivorous diet would take longer than that to develop. again though....a lot of what he's saying is right but it seems the evidence he provides isn't 100% correct.

I'm telling you bro, it makes you sick. I was like fighting back vomit and crying. It's serious stuff. At the end he says something like "if slaughterhouses had glass walls we'd all be vegetarians" which is soooo true. What they do to those animals and how they're forced to live isn't morally right and it's definitely breaking laws and codes and whatever.
