So I have been asked my family and many others about what I have learnt about nutrition and why I try to follow a vegan diet as best as I can; however, I hate being put on the spot and all the knowledge I have learnt from NUMEROUS documentaries and probably an easy hundred hours of research and nutrition class at UW-River Falls all just gets jumbled up and I cannot not utter a single fact sometimes. Or I can spout of a few facts but they don't really get my point across. The biggest question almost ALL plant eaters get is: how do I get enough protein? Well for this simple question I have found a really good article explaining the myth behind protein in layman's terms. It is a little long, but its a really easy read. I just wanted to provide this information for anyone who is interested or just curious about the topic. :) (Click on the title below to find the article)
Also out of all the documentaries I have watched I highly suggest people watch Forks Over Knives. I am not asking any person to change how they eat or what they believe in any way, but there is no harm in educating yourself. Judgement and disdain stem from ignorance. Just learn some basic facts just for the sake of learning.
I know my blog seems kind of random at times, but I want to write all about me and my life NOT just about Vet school (WHICH I STILL LOVE EVEN THOUGH ITS HARD) :) and I really hope my family and friends back home appreciate the glimpses into my doings Down Under :)
