Think about what this means for the average diet most people are eating, if you are eating a meat based diet you're probably also consuming a great deal of drugs that don't do a lot of good for your body.
Until recently I didn't give it a lot of thought, but read up on the diets most of the football players are eating and most are plant based diets and you'll be hard pressed to tell anyone that they're generally eating unhealthy diets.

Over the past few months we've completely cut out meat and dairy products with just a few minor exceptions that will also get cut out and doing quite a bit better.. The old woman has lost around 20 pounds in the past few months. I've not lost much, but I've always been rather thin anyway. Hopefully I can get my HepC under control, eat a plant based diet and maybe, just maybe live a bit longer and healthier..  

I'm going to begin charting things and keeping records.. If results are positive and substantial I'll share what I find..

Well if that is truly what you are worried about, you could focus on buying more antibiotic free and organic meat/cheese/eggs than giving up meat altogether and going straight Vegan. 

The Vegan lifestyle is not for me. I could never give up meat and cheese and eggs. I am just more conscience of where my animal products are coming from and what goes into them.
