OR - For a number of years after I became a vegetarian I thought of vegans as being over the top and excessive. Taking her milk didn’t kill the cow, right? Eating eggs doesn't kill a chicken, does it? But I became intrigued with the notion of letting my head decide what I eat, rather than my taste buds, and when I learned that a good friend was vegan, I decided to give it a try. Just to see what would happen; if it turned out to be too hard, I could always stop.
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
