It is heavily patrolled by mainstream medicine types who do not want to hear about or to change any factors in their life ,so give up on any discussions regarding nutrition ,preventative health factors or alternative choices in most instances . I have met many people in life who are happy to just take a pill and chill then see them again and now it is 2,3 pills and still just chillin not proactive on their health so I understand where they are coming from . Don't want to hear it . Doctor never mentioned it

The video truly would be 'off topic ' in the health group I have to agree .


So it is the glass half full vs glass half empty debate. Some will say why try ? Some will say why not?
Factory farming torture and cruelty to animals is a reason for being vegan, but it is just one reason I agree in the end even if one doesn't start from that point , by not participating in the purchase one is helping the cause
