    Great research. Great links. On top of what you said, eating veg has so many advantages. I don’t know why people can’t see its inherent virtues. It’s cheaper. It’s healthier. You typically get that fiber you need. You typically get more food for fewer calories if you’re wanting to lose weight. It’s better for the environment.

    It doesn’t have to be complicated to taste great. You can just cook up some asparagus spears on the stove top with some salt and oil, and most people will be happy, at least for that sort of meal once in a while. And almost anybody can cook that. Or who doesn’t like a baked sweet potato or some nice boiled corn? All simple shit.

    And you don’t have to become a vegan to make a difference in your own life. Just starting by replacing one meat meal a week with a healthy vegetarian option is a big step in the right direction.
