Everyone has to watch this documentary on Netflix! It's an eye opener. All meats are a direct cause towards Cancer, Diabetes, and other health issues. And more importantly, getting all meat (and fish and poultry) out of your diet can reverse effects of meats already in your system. I'm converted!

    Poorly done, not worth it, talk to farmers and people actually involved with these things DAILY to get your info. Not some dude with an agenda.

    I watched it last night. I have Crohn's disease. They said a plant based diet would help put my Crohns into remission. I'm actually transitioning into becoming vegan.

    Do you tolerate vegetables now? My sister doesn't. I'm pretty sure plant-based would land her in the hospital.

    You're right. I'm a lemming. After reading the main thread on this, I should look for a balanced view. (I did use search prior to posting and didn't see it.)
    I probably would ease off a little on chicken and pork, and try a little more good quality steaks.

    I have crohn's too.Before I had surgery a vegan diet would put me in the hospital. Way too hard to digest
