Ditch the Meat

[Masgwembe]

Adopting a vegan diet has a direct link to better health and reduced cases of chronic diseases.

This documentary explores how the factory farms which give us our meat, dairy and eggs contribute to the world's collapse in environment & health including Covid-19.

Vegans do not age and die, do they?

 

[Anglututu]

I would say, have a balance, consuming a bit more from the ground and yes minimize on meat and dairy.

Meat explains why lions don't live to old age.

 

[Mwalimu-G]

Meat explains why lions don't live to old age.

We could argue on this until the cows come home but 1. We don't eat meat alone, 2. Chances of lions eating pathogen contaminated meat is high compared to us who reasonably cook our meat and 3. What is supposed to be the old age of lions?

Can you see a pattern?

why does a lion live longer than a goat, a bull then?

why does a lion live longer than a goat, a bull then?

Goats and bulls are eaten.

Thomson's gazelle live for about 15 years compared to Lions which average 12- 15 years. Hio theory itupwe nje.

 

[Aviator]

Animals that are food to others generally have a short lifespan. Look at elephant, rhino, tortoise etc on one side vs lion, wolf, leopard etc on the other.

I highly doubt some of these figures. Kuku fifteen years!!!

 

[Mzichi]

Animals that are food to others generally have a short lifespan. Look at elephant, rhino, tortoise etc on one side vs lion, wolf, leopard etc on the other.

And animals like Lions that are highly hierarchial die fast at the hands of younger males... Most of the cubs die when attacked by new makes and all this plays to the reduced life expectancy

Yet you have chicken for 15yrs and Carp 100 yrs?

 

[Aviator]

For a fact, a human can outrun an elephant.
And given a straight stretch, it's easy to catch chicken this Christmas.

How the fuck can they know the lifespan of Tasmanian tiger and yet it’s been extinct for some time now?

Especially for African people, a meat and dairy free diet leads to great gains in physical health.

There are some exceptions in some pastoralist communities who have genetic adaptations to meat consumption, but only to local breeds of dairy and meat species.

The minute Maasais switch to foreign breeds, diabetes and heart problems begin to manifest.

Granted, taste and flavour in our food is a major part of living, however, the less you consume, the better off you are. So, sio lazima chakula ikuwe na nyama ndio ule. Jaribu kulimit for yourself and your family. At the very least, it will reduce your medical bills. Actively encourage children to love a healthy diet.
