Apparently I can’t make a comment online about eating fake meat because meat eaters everywhere think it’s gross that I don’t eat flesh as I often as I used to.
You know what’s really gross? The way meat is slaughtered. The way that animals are cared for in factory farms (sorry, the way they aren’t cared for). Fifty chicks going through a grinder at once—alive, screaming. Human sweat that happens from the rampant global warming that’s been caused by thousands of cows passing gas at one time.

God I love food.

When I first told my family that I was going to eat healthier and a lot less meat, to the point that I am now mostly vegetarian, they didn’t really understand it. My dad, in particular, didn’t think that I could get all of my dietary needs by eating mostly plants and grains.
But now I can show him proof that, despite most of us Latinos growing up in a meat-heavy culture, maintaining a well-planned, plant-based diet is just as healthy for us (both as kids and as adults), thanks to new findings published by the Medical Journal of Australia Open… Read more here.
