Myth # 16 : " But eating meat is healthy .” ( also heard as “ But eating meat is necessary ” or “ But eating meat is good for me ”)
Actually , the evidence is now already overwhelming ( and still growing stronger & stronger every time the results of each new unbiased study are released ) that the human body is intensely damaged by eating animal flesh &/ or consuming animal secretions . Studies linking meat & dairy consumption to significantly higher rates of heart disease , heart attacks , strokes , diabetes , cancer , osteoporosis & obesity abound and must be earnestly considered by anyone sincerely interested in their own health or the health of those they love … On the flip side , the evidence is now strong ( and also growing stronger & stronger every day ) that the human body becomes far healthier when eating a plant-based diet – with vegans being far less likely to incur the severe health problems mentioned above , being far more resistant to everyday diseases & infections , living noticeably longer lives , having a decidedly more positive attitude towards life , and having far more energy while living .
Current status of this Myth : Contravened Justification it provides for eating animals : NONE
“ Getting your nutrients from meat and dairy is like running your water through a sewer before you drink it .” ~ inspired by Colleen Riordan
