A little thought

I agree that eating more fruits and vegetables and an active lifestyle are good for health, but the evidence of the link between meat eating and cancer and heart disease is not explained in detail and is not very convincing. I searched for casein. The paper in the film does not indicate that the animal based diet is carcinogenic ( http://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/abcs-of-nutr ).
I like the movie that pointed out the misguided guidance of the pharmaceutical factories and the food industry to popular food, and seeing the animals in the movie being treated badly by the factory also made my heart tremble.
My take away is a plant based diet and exercise is undoubtedly good for the body, but I am skeptical of the connection between meat eating and cancer and cardiovascular disease.

    In the elderly care documentary, the protagonists interviewed are all old professors, old doctors, and old scientists. While watching, they are looking forward to the scene of enjoying family happiness when they are at that age. The more I think about it, the more I get excited, the life after retirement is the real life. Now it's just living a long life, one day is one day. Although it is a film that promotes vegetarianism, the meat scenes in it are particularly appetizing.

    I watched vegan 4 years ago and it’s also been 4 years since my family bought milk tofu. I ate a block of milk tofu every day for a few days and found that my knees were rattling and the pain was so bad (then I would have given up meat and milk) before I watched this film. I found the reason and immediately stopped breastfeeding. I am very grateful for the knowledge gained at the right time. PS: Meat is really not a necessity. Can you really digest and absorb the protein of meat? Why risk animal life for the protein you can't digest?
