Alcohol I love, but you must constantly be aware of how it is affecting you in your life. Daily consumption is a no-no and should be taken as a sign you are headed down a dangerous path. Moderation and recuperation time for your body is a must with drinking alcohol.

I take issue with including meat however. It’s more of a shameless plug for vegetarianism than a worthwhile point. I understand you are happy for your switch, but in your case I think the feeling of “health” is more mental than real. My girlfriend of nine years was raised vegetarian since birth, and I love vegetarian foods, so I am not a biased meat eater…just someone pointing out that it appears to me your opinion on meat came from an emotional rather than practical source. For the record, there are just as many studies that consuming meat is has many positive health effects as there are the opposite. As is the case with those who do not eat meat, it is often the quality of the ingredient that is of true importance. Which leads me to your last point:

Fast food. It’s absolute garbage. It is greasy and salty in the best of cases. That said, it’s delicious most of the time. Fast food is something you should avoid if you have serious health issues, but if not it’s fine to enjoy once in a while. Just don’t make it a regular part of your diet, like you wouldn’t make cake or chocolate a regular part of your diet.

Once the anxiety has gone, I crash and sleep for hours.

Moral of the story? Coffee isn’t good (for me anyway)!

Lets consider this. We are all born despite species we all exist or equally dont exist. No one of us, including any other animal has any more natural right to the resources of the planet, humans think they do for two reasons, inheritance and dominion. Inheritance is truly greedy and selfish right in line with humans, like the immature brat at the toy store who wants everything, even opens a few toys. Dominion.. well we are efficient at a lot of things, but our tendencies are no better so far seemingly worse, most people i’ve come across are unethical, no i do not suppose that anything but our tools would give us the right to claim kingship over the other animals. Other animals utilize tools also though, maybe not as complicated machinery.

Non of that really matters what it comes down to is that each earthling, including cows and other creatures, independently exist, or equally independently dont exist and therefore deserve the same rights and liberties.

I eat meat occasionally especially now that its winter. Summer i am mostly raw vegan. But just because im going to eat meat (i rarely eat cow) doesn’t mean i need to believe the lies and in the end lie to myself to justify what im doing.

life feeds on life, energy is not created nor destroyed only changes.

I don’t really feel like there is any point discussing the issue with you as you seem to already have made up your mind.

As for a cow being equal to a man, who said it was? That doesn’t mean it feels zero suffering or pain or that it wants to be killed. Animals go through tremendous pain when they are slaughtered for meat. Have you ever taken a trip to a local abattoirs? I encourage you to do so.

Meat is now also an issue for climate change and cancer. A study of over 500 thousand Americans has shown that high levels of meat increases risk of over five cancers buy up to 60%. So while you may not feel depressed (that is excellent by the way) you are actually increasing your risk of several other diseases.

Thanks for your comment.
