I feel great. It works well for me. Yes, my health situation has changed as I've gotten older since I used to be a "junk food vegan" and I've changed to a healthy vegan diet with a large "raw/living food" component. I'm glad to hear you are healthy and feel good about your lifestyle. As I've said on this blog before, good health is about a lot more than meat vs. no meat. There are a lot of ways to be healthy and a lot of ways to be unhealthy. Sounds like we have both found different ways to be healthy. There are many reasons to go vegan, but for most people it is a philosophical choice that we make. David, I have been vegan for over 15 years and am very happy with it. I feel great.

I eat beef and chicken that's locally and organically grown. They also grow their own hay for winter feeding. That means that most of my diet takes all of 1 acre (land that one cow requires) I know this because my mother in law raises cattle,and the general rule is 1 cow per acre. I also drink locally raised goat milk. All this to say that much of my diet is had from little mnore than an acre for much of the year. What vegan can claim that kind of "green" impact on the earth. It's so self-sustaining. And when winter comes, I still eat. The vegans rely on food shipped in from across the globe. Just think of the carbon footprint... Oh, and I'm 50 and run cirlces around people 20 years my junior, and in fact was mistaken for being 30 just the other day. Not only that, my son has a very good friend who is a vegan. Her dad is too, for many years. He just had his first heart attack. His triglycerides were an astounding 450. That's what wheat will do to you. Veganism: not what you think it is...

What a wonderful site. :) I completely sympathize. It's just as hard to be healthy on a vegan diet now as on a "regular" (omnivorous) diet. Hey there!

I'll enjoy reading your new posts as they come. It seems rare to find people that eat that way. I'm getting a blog going that will be all vegan and gluten free recipes. Stop by if you'd like.
