So i’m becoming a vegetarian. Will it be hard at first if you used to love meat ? Advantages vs. disadvantages?

yep tryin to cleanse the good ole’ colon (and becasue I’m not into that whole mass slaughter thing anymore also)

Advantage : You will not be exploiting nearly as many animals (although they are exploited in much the same way in the milk and egg industry)

Advantage: Since animal farming is a major cause of greenhouse gas emmissions, you’ll be doing the planet a favour by cutting down on animal products:

“9% of global carbon dioxide emissions
35-40% of global methane emissions (chiefly due to enteric fermentation and manure)
64% of global nitrous oxide emissions, chiefly as a result of fertilizer use.[6]”

Advantage: Meat is linked to various cancers, obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease and various things… a vegetarian diet (vegan more so) is much healthier for your body.

Disadvantage: People WILL persecute you for having some moral fibre

Disadvantage: The change in diet may disrupt your body for a while – don’t worry though, this is bound to happen with any big change for better OR worse – if you get any problems, just stick them out for the couple of weeks they usually last and then your health can only improve.

Is The Master Cleanse and Colon Cleansing really safe?
