Who is blaming #cows 🐄 for #carbon?

We should be blaming 🚗 ✈️ 🚤 🛻 🚀 ⚡️ 🏭 and manufacturing--not cows munching grass!

It's illogical and ridiculous!

We had ruminating animals #grazing Earth for millions of years before cars, airplanes and factories! Grass itself "captures carbon" and puts it back in the ground!

Visiting my old home town and feeling lonely, I realize with heartbreak that most of my friends here have died.

Mostly vegan.

Mostly Cancer.

40s, 50s, 60s.

Too young.

Coincidence? This the same town where I started innovating as a vegan caterer in 2003.

We have an outstanding vegan-centric all organic health food store with a vegetarian salad bar.

When I first started #Veganism, I was 41, healthy and athletic. I did yoga daily. You might have called me "fit."

But I was freezing cold, even in summer sun, lost my period and went flat chested.

Something was wrong.

I was starving myself "for the animals." I wore padding to disguise my totally flat chest.

My cheeks were hollow.

I covered cystic acne with makeup.

My hair fell out so I wore wigs.

I got collagen to fill my deep nasolabial folds.

So much denial.

Returning from a trip to attend memorial services for a dear vegetarian friend who died of Cancer.

Almost everyone I saw has Cancer, too.

And they all say:

“Why am I sick? I eat such a healthy diet, mostly fruit, vegetables and plant based!” When I suggest it might be a chronic lack of protein, B-12, carnitine, carnosine, minerals, collagen, saturated fats and iron...and too much sugar and oxalates they are in complete denial. #vegan #cancer #breastcancer Image
