After watching the documentary "Forks Over Knives"(2011) at the end of May 2012, I (along with my family) adopted a plant-based diet. I no longer eat animal products, including seafood, beef, chicken, turkey, pork, dairy products, or eggs. I am no longer taking medine for my Type 2 diabetes and lost weight in the process. I also made a connection with where my meat was coming from, and I have vowed not to support the factory farming industry by purchasing and eating meat, dairy, or eggs. I love animals (God's incredible creations), and my aim is to do my part to protect them.
