As health authorities have suspected for some time now, bird flu is consistently being spread between mammals, increasing the risk of sustained outbreaks emerging among humans in the future.
If anyone wants help going vegan, I’d be happy to help. Even if it’s infeasible to get enough people in the world to stop eating animals fast enough to avert the next pandemic, there is evidence that people who eat plant-based have better outcomes from getting sick, as well as just getting sick less in general. Not to mention getting animal products out of your homes reduces one of the vectors through which pathogens can spread. So at the very least you’d be giving yourself your own best chance (just keep in mind it’s no replacement for vaccinations!)
Eating the flesh of an animal is not good for anyone. It’s not good for the animal who was abused their whole life and murdered. It’s not good for the environment. It’s not good for all the beings who get sick from pathogens because of it. And it’s not even good for the human animal who consumes the other animal’s flesh.
I spent years feeling guilty eating factory farmed meat from fast food chains and supermarkets. I knew it was bad, but I gave into peer pressure and was lazy, I didn’t want to sacrifice eating a bunch of foods that I liked, plus I believed all the myths about nutrition deficiency and so forth.
But eventually I watched the Food Inc. documentary, that pushed me over the edge. I couldn’t keep being a hypocrite, I knew I had to make a change and I went 100% Vegetarian later that month. It’s been over 4 years now and I am healthier than I’ve ever been in my life.
I actually still believed the myths about nutrition for vegans/vegetarians when I made the switch, I just excepted that it was morally right and I would just have to except being weak and somewhat malnourished. But about 6 months into my switch, I came across the Game Changers documentary which debunked all of the myths about nutrition I had been told.
I have cut out the majority of dairy products from my diet too and drink Soy or Oat milk now. I cook with it for pancakes and other recipes that traditionally call for milk.
Overall, it has been fantastic for my health, plus I’ve convinced several family members to cut down on their meat consumption significantly, and two of them have even gone Pescatarian.
I’ve been sick so much less since I became vegan. I always had a cold a couple of times a year all my life, but now I’ve had two very mild ones in 5 years. I also haven’t had covid, even though my family and many friends have, I didn’t use a mask that much and my country didn’t have lockdown in the way most did (Sweden).
Right, the difference in immune benefit is so crystal clear for everyone who makes the switch, not even considering the other myriad benefits like heart health, diabetes reversal/mitigation, weight loss, and mental health benefits.

Sounds like a steak side salad would be beneficial.
No, no it would not be beneficial. That would be the opposite of beneficial (unless it’s plant-based steak).
Beneficial for the human.

It tastes nice and is a source of protein, iron and other minerals.
True in some cases.
True in most cases.
True. But pathogens also exist on plants. Which is why food standards exist that cover both.

My dick got bigger and I can see more colors
Someday, I hope scientists will see sense and add vegreen to the rainbow. Eat only plant-based foods and it’s clearly ROYGVBIV.
