Since I have been on this Plant Based, I have been doing a lot of research and I came across this information , according to the CDC more than 75% of the $2.6 trillion in annual US health care costs are from
chronic diseases. Diets high in meat and dairy are some of the main causes of
most of these diseases.
·
Chronic diseases cause 7 in 10 deaths each year in the United
States.
About 133 million Americans—nearly 1 in 2 adults—live with at
least one chronic illness.
More than 75% of health care costs are due to chronic conditions.
And it is worst in the
Black Community.
What the old folks use to call
“the suga.”
With those numbers and facts, why aren't more people on a
plant based diet?
Are people not connecting the dots? Or just don't care about their health?
Humans are committing suicide at a snail's pace...
Did you know that the first sign to heart disease is DEATH.
Seriously...
It is interesting to me that as I scroll down my face
book time line, I often see photos of steak dinners cooked or at some restaurant Or statuses saying I want to go to
such, and such steak house.
I've seen several post from people who say they are
on some type of diet; but eat Mickey D’s Oatmeal, most mornings…
Either they have
ignored the information about McDonald’s Oatmeal, or they don’t give a rats’
ass.
But I digress.
One misconception about a plant based diet is that
all one is eating is sticks and carrots all day.
There are an ass of recipes
out there...check out Recipe.com, Youtube, go to the freaking library, most of my
information came from there. Another
excuse is: it’s too expensive or time consuming…so is waiting in the E.R. Or
having to fill another doctor’s prescription; because of high blood pressure or high cholesterol,
both are just the beginning signs of many chronic ailments.
Oh! And where are you getting your protein?
The same place a cow
does. Eating plants!
I eat like a Gorilla.
It has been drilled into our heads "that humans need meat and
dairy to survive" and it’s one of the biggest lies ever told!
Humans are getting
cancer and heart disease from eating animals and drinking their bodily fluids.
But I digress.
