@karyssamarleriectskin-com I agree. no particular diet is good for the same person. everyone has a different outcome

To each their own and to each body their own. The vegan diet can be very healthy for some people with certain conditions or illnesses. Other people don't need to follow a vegan diet as their body might need what is missing in the vegan diet. A balanced intake of chicken, beef, and fish is great. But,  I understand and respect those who wish to not eat animals. Maybe it was here in class that we had another group discussion about it or maybe I saw it on social media but there was an influencer who only ate fruits and vegetables and over the years she got too sick from not having proper nutrition and did pass away. If going vegan, it is so important to be sure to get in protein somehow! 

@brianahetlandiectskin-com Same! I'd miss tacos!

@elianaaltamiranoiectskin-com That's amazing! I can see how a specific diet can help with colon cancer.

I do think vegan diets can be beneficial but I was on one for 6 months and it was very hard for me to upkeep personally. I ate so much junk and processed food. I did not feel healthy at all. If I had a personal chef that would be great and I bet I would feel amazing but I just didn't have the time or energy to eat right. I am much healthier now with my steady meal plan

@rebeccamatuskaiectskin-com I remember seeing that too! that was very sad. I think a healthy balance of all foods is the way to go personally but yes I respect everyone's decision on how they want to eat.

@laurenjohnsoniectskin-com I remember when I started eating meat again after being a vegitarian for 3 years I felt so much better! It was hard to be social or go out to eat because I had very limited options and would always eat really carb heavy or have to lean towards processed alternatives.

I have always been kinda tossed between the health factors and the actual manufacturing of the "plant-based" foods. I can understand that some things can be cooked down or blended and changed into a different presentation, like black bean burgers.  But when I think about things like the impossible burger, what is in the plant-based ingredients to make its shelf life so long?  That's my thought with all this vegan food that claims fresh but has a longer shelf life than the raw fresh version of said food.  I just think its just another fad or phase like the "diets" over the years.

@rebeccamatuskaiectskin-com I totally agree with you! I think that the base line of what our organs need is generally the same, but the way that you are able to achieve those baseline goals can change based on what you as a person need for your specific dietary needs.  Eating and health is not one size fits all.

@brandyhunteriectskin-com Each persons health requirements definitely is different person to person.  I am not saying that it doesn't work or is not real, I just think that it varies for sure.
