Diet is the biggest key to health and to death in my opinion. The “you dig your grave with your teeth” saying seems to be true from what I’ve seen. I haven’t settled in on one style of diet but I have seen the biggest changes in people using diet/lifestyle compared to exercise.

I am a believer in fresh and clean food whenever possible due to toxicity and processing for shelf life. I have seen folks do better with their health by growing their own food (myself included) either for themselves to eat or as animal feed for their own animals. The man I get some of my beef from goes to great lengths to ensure his cows have healthy and abundant grazing available. He gardens for his herd and the herd helps provide fertility for the garden and the soil improves.

I also think diet should include things that you take in to your mind. How do I know something is true? That is a big question for me as I evaluate myself.

The wife of a friend was vegan for the same reason as you. They eventually moved to a home and she was able to raise her own animals treating them well and providing for them. She was then able to use her animals as food after some time. She knew where and how they lived and I guess that made her more comfortable.

Personally I like taking back more control over my food because it’s a big part of life. I feel a great deal of joy because of my own gardening efforts and being a student of health and people. I guess my approach to the diet question is look for fresh food that is clean and to adjust when needed based on results.

Thanks for the question.
