Why do we eat food? We eat food for energy, but where do we get the energy from? We get it from the sun. So when you eat plants you are getting energy from the absorbed sunlight. We eat animals and animial byproducts because they eat plants and the energy is absorbed by their flesh and is also found in cow's milk. It seems to make sense to get your energy as direct from the source as possible. I've been vegan now for about 2 months. I really think the most benefit has come from not eating dairy. I can't believe how much fat I was eating on a daily basis. I use to think I was addicted to sweets and believed in the whole Atkins theory. However, I realized a great deal of the junk I was eating contained diary in the form of chocolate, creams, and icing. Taking that crap out of my diet I believe is saving my life.
