Agreed: no surprise whatsoever.

And isn't it wonderful that we all KNOW we should be eating plant foods? That even Nature, and of course GOD, tell us this, thus we don't even have to read a single STUDY in order to know it?! I just LOVE this!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it would have been even more lovely had Chelsea chosen to make her wedding menu entirely vegan, demonstrating to all of her guests just how elegant, delicious, and satisfying eating vegan can be.

It started four years ago when my doctor told me I needed to start taking a cholesterol lowering drug, I was 46. I have had high cholesterol since my 20's and thought because I was at a healthy weight and athletic that my cholesterol numbers didn't matter that much. Wrong!
I knew about Dr. Ornish's work reversing heart disease with a low fat vegetarian diet so I gave up all meat except for fish for the first year and my numbers dropped enough that my doctor commented on them. I then became a vegetarian for two years and my number dropped a little bit more. Finally a year and half ago I became vegan and that is when I had a BIG drop and my doctor's jaw dropped and could not believe that diet alone caused such results. I should mention that I focus on a vegan diet that is a whole foods diet,
I don't eat allot of processed foods.
Along the way I did a fair amount of research on where our meat, dairy and eggs came from it broke my heart. I could not in good conscious be apart of it by paying money and consuming animal products. I understand that there are so called "humanely raised" meat available but I decided that even though it had that label (what does that really mean anyway??) I didn't need to have something killed or kept in confinement in order to be nourished. I feel great about my decision.
