I’ve been trying to figure this out for the last 15 years and still failing hard. Can’t even stay vegan but that’s because I don’t really care about that, veganism is just a stupid political/ethical ideology with zero basis in reality. Veganism is not wise because humans are too diverse for any single ideology beyond being human. We are mad creatures who love drama and violence when things get too calm (your mind is a microcosmic version of that).
I just wanna optimise my health, feel great and help others heal. Easier said than done! There is progress in the sense that I have invested in the tools I need and of course through failure we learn and hopefully are humbled by our glorious defeats. But time i not on our side. By the time we make it might be too late.
I still suck at this. And I don’t think anyone’s really mapped out a good transition plan. The advice out there is completely ridiculous, irresponsible and unrealistic for most people. All the health books suck. All the gurus are greedy fools. This is very tricky thing to get right. I don’t think Ehret’s books are that great either. He makes a lot erroneous claims with zero evidence or proof to back them up besides vague anecdotes from his patients which have zero credibility today. Most of his theories are complete quackery.
All health information and plant foods should be free. That is the system I would impose on Earth if I were king. You cannot profit off of sickness and despair. To raise the basic standard of living for all and then even the rich man can sleep well at night knowing the poor criminals won’t invade his property and rape his wife. If anyone polutes public water systems, their limbs will be cut off and fed to crocodiles.
We all know what to do deep down. Eat mostly plant foods. That seems to be the healthiest choice although not necessarily the most stimulating. Stay hydrated and sleep well. Regular excercise. Enjoy life. Work on projects and skills that you can get better at. Be kind and love everyone everywhere including yourself. Be the field of loving awareness, that is your identity. You are beyond your social security number.
Countries are illusory. They are just geography. There is only earth. We are all part of the same family.
