#World2 #Vegan Edition: Animals and Climate

#World2 #Vegan Edition: Footprint
Time for a small recap session regarding the vegan lifestyle. In the last post, we found out that meat and dairy have a 14% share in climate change. That brings the average German down from 539% of the available budget to 464%. Solid but apparently only a part of the equation. ...

#World2 #Vegan Edition: Speciesism
Going vegan has three pillars. In the last episodes, we have covered some ground on one of them - sustainability and climate protection. In the next posts, I'd also dive into the other aspects. So let's start with speciesism and animal rights. ...

#World2 #Vegan Edition: Personal Health

And then, one day, I took the decision to stop. At that point, I didn't know all the details. But I felt better day by day. ...

#World2 #Vegan Edition: The Inevitable
Veganism is no religion, as many claim. I think it's two things: a set of rules that help you easily navigate through the giant stream of consumption. When you follow them, you most likely do the right thing for your body, the environment and in any case for the animals. And it's a mindset.

This is similar to how I became #vegan as well. My own health, selfish as it sounds, was the initial focus of my shift to a #plantbased diet. It is better for circulation and the heart, counters inflammation and irritation, lowers cholesterol, et cetera. One unexpected bonus was losing 20 pounds and going down a full clothing size. 
And mitigating the tendency for prostate cancer on the male line of my family was a huge factor in this:
