I know far less vegans these days than I used to. I got sick and tired of their holler than thou attitude. It's gets tiring to be told that they are better than everyone else because of their beliefs.

I make very conscience decisions on wear I buy my meat and dairy. I only buy farm fresh eggs from a local farm a few blocks away from my house. I've become friends with the family over the years and I know exactly how they are treated.

I also only buy meat from my local butcher. I know the farms where he gets his beef, chicken, pork, etc. They are all relatively local and they are mostly family farms. I don't support meat factories. i choose to support smaller farms that treat their animals as ethically as possible. They also don't add a bunch of crap to the meat.

Frankly, I don't trust meat from anywhere else. I guess I'm lucky to have the luxury of making that choice, I wish more people did that have the option. Hell, same goes for my fruit and veggies, local farms as much as possible. I don't eat a shitload of meat, but I'm not gonna stop either. I eat fruits and vegetables daily and trust me, I'm healthy. Eating meat from time to time isn't going to change that.

In fact, tonight I will be BBQ'ing a nice juicy steak.

Hey thanks for your honesty man, I definitely applaud what you're doing instead of supporting the meat factories, that's pretty cool and should be the mainstream method of farming.

Sadly it's not mainstream though, I have an uncle who owns a local farm, 'local' even though he's very far from me and I probably visit very rarely once every 5+ years or more, he keeps the animals in cages sort of like the ones you see in those Peta videos where they can't even move, very smelly, feces everywhere, I don't know if he advertises them as 'free-range' or not either, but he probably does since it's a small 'local' farm.

I've met one person in real life who had AIDs, I'm not sure if he's alive anymore. He was probably the sickest person I've ever met in my entire life, on the brink of death. Makes me sick just imagining his face and body. It wasn't good, let's just leave it at that. AIDs is very scary, it's something you do not want to catch because it can devastate your entire life and turn it upside down.

It kills millions of people every year, there is no cure, people who caught AIDs at the time this book was written had a life expectancy of 3-5 year after catching the disease and that's WITH taking tons of medications and pills just to stay alive, but there is someone who has actually cured the disease from his body back in the 80s: Roger's Recovery From AIDS: How One Man Defeated the Dread Disease.
No drugs, no medication. Guess what diet he ate?

He went from having full blown AIDs all over his body in his deathbed taking tons of medications, to curing it completely, no drugs or medications used. I'm surprised this isn't a news worldwide story because that's a big deal to me in my opinion. No one has cured AIDs before. Especially never through a diet without any assistance of medicine. Especially when the average life expectancy at the time was a short 3-5 years WITH daily expensive and painful medication.

Believe it or not there's a second person that has cured his own AIDs, he went from low T cell count, tons of body pain, horrible join paint, and almost dead to now healthier than a normal person and he can even do backflips and run around and do exercise even better than your average American, NO MEDICATIONS:

Will a raw food diet cure my friend Jesse's AIDS HIV?

Jessie Reaches Out. Talks about HIV

Jessie No longer HIV Positive

Jesse Update 5/15/2014

He went from AIDS, had dangerously low T-cell count, tremendous amounts of pain, joints ached with soreness, to now no longer being HIV positive, his doctor didn't know what was going on. He says he's healthier now than ever before, he can do backflips, and is even healthier than 'normal' people who were never sick with AIDs to begin with. He took NO MEDICATIONS.

Diet cure for all sicknesses? For sure. Cancer can be reversed, diabetes can be reversed, heart disease can be reversed, and now it looks like even AIDs can't beat a vegan diet.

"I'm not HIV positive anymore."

I know I've been saying that EVERYTHING in my life has improved for the better since I became a vegan, my intelligence, my energy levels, relationships, money, freakin' everything, but not one but TWO PEOPLE curing AIDs with this diet should be the best recognition and testimonial in the world. The fact that Jessie went from barely able to move, was in tons of pain, had a ton of diseases, to now able to do backflips and is healthier than the majority of Americans today, and he doesn't take any pills anymore, has to give you some sort of idea or inspiration.

Benefits I felt after taking meat out of my diet
