My new Employment makes Me Sick

    Since starting my new job at Hardee’s, a fast food restaraunt, I have started eating vegan. Not for the aspect of protecting animals but for health reasons. Working there has actually stifled any urges to go back to eating meat. The smell of the meat all days gives me a stomach ache and headache. Seeing it go from frozen slabs to greasy, oil slabs has ever dispelled me of the cravings of a burger.

    This sounds a little outlandish. Let me explain. In order to get the loan for my house, my wife and I had to get jobs as soon as possible. Where we will soon be living is in a small town. There is not much employment available. Needless to say, I will be quiting soon.
    The reason I have started eating vegan, along with my wife and her parents is because we have all been reading this book called The China Study (more current post regarding the book) by Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Thomas M. Campbell II. It goes into detail on the authors’ findings from studying the effects of eating mainly animal proteins (anything with animal based ingredients) compaired to eating only plant proteins. There have been many other studies and tests done which compliment their findings which the book describes. Some of the other studies were done in the 1960’s and re-produced in the 1980’s (I think the 80’s) with the same results.
    The findings in these studies show that changing your diet from mainly animal proteins to plant proteins can reverse cancer and heart disease and prevent them. The results have been shown in rats and humans. It is very intriguing. If you are concerned about your health or just are interested in being healthy, this is definitely something you should read.

    Well, now I am off to help people clog their arteries with huge burgers that will kill you.
