i find myself becoming vegan for another reason / it's what my body likes / the microbiome in my gut seems to be happier without dairy and eggs and those little microbes seem to have a way of expressing their discomfort / they talk to our immune system and they talk to our brain and just like an organ of our body they lose their ability to adapt and cope over time / this is what i'm learning / probly lots of diseases are related to stressed out microbiomes - obviously digestive diseases but also auto-immune diseases (of which i have one) and food allergies / oh yeah and they influence our dreams / good post

Thank you for my very first comment, I'm just starting out! I don't know much about microbiome but will research; there are so many health benefits to a vegan diet and I gladly learn about yet another one. Topic of a future article.

Thanks for making me more aware of the harm our dairy industry is doing to cows & the environment.

Yes, once you begin to uncover it -- it's pretty bad.
