do the research on it if you want.

also, it is true that the typical vegetarian diet will usually not be as palatable as a commercial (processed food diet). this is because the commercial diet is designed in the laboratory to taste good and SELL as it's main criteria, it is not specifically designed to be nutritious; and the commercial diet includes everything from breakfast cereal to pringles, from diet drinks, to ovaltine, and includes all sorts of healthy sounding adjectives in the packaging---again it is designed to sell---your health is an after thought and you will see this once you learn about nutrition, how to read labels, and wade through the marketing hype.

you cannot leave your nutrition to the vagaries of the marketplace---what tastes great might not be so good for you...decide, when you want a late night snack---will it be microwave popcorn (full of salt and saturated fat and tasting SO fucking good) or a fairly bland apple or an orange.

there are huge health benefits if you can go to a (mostly) plant-based raw foods diet. do the research if you want.

ok sermon over, only a few of you will get this.
