Many people of the 7 billion who now inhabiting planet Earth have their lives concentrated in the realm of Me, only Me and only for Me. Too many so.

But there are also many people who go beyond their Me. People who really dedicate their lives to other people. People who fight for the rights of animals and plants. These are love oases in a world plagued with fear, pain, hopelessness, hunger and wars.

Jill Phipps, an english activist for Animal Rights,  was one such oasis: 

Here is her story:

Modern man lives fast. People are no longer "normal" living beings. They have become teeth on a giant economic wheel. 

As a result, people do just about anything fast, from fucking fast, if they can because they may be dysfunctional, to eating fast and, if they are not careful with what they eat, they may die fast too. 

These fast people often say they have no time to cook at home. So when they are on the run in the modern hunt, what do they eat? They eat fast food. 

Which also means millions of animals die at the slaughterhouses (Video 1) round the clock worldwide to manufacture fast foods to fill up the bellies of these insane fast people. And consequently fast people´s food habits put a lot of strain on the environment.

                                   Video 1. Cattle slaughterhouse.

And what do people get with fast food? They get crap.

Let us find out what a couple of fast food items, amongst thousands of their kind including any processed food products, contain:

Going nova

Most medical researchers agree that fast food is detrimental to our health. Even laboratory rats get cancer when kept on a junk food diet and pass their cancer risk to their offspring.

Furthermore, no "normal" human being can be healthy eating food charged with so many additives and xenobiotics, unless of course he or she is an extraterrestrial alien. 

If you are a maniac consumer of fast or junk foods, sooner or later you will get sick or kick the bucket. 

So, now you know why you are suffering from haemorrhoids, flaring up and exploding like a star going nova; and why your heart and your colon are acting up or diseased.

Insane you eat, insane you live and insane you die.

Have you ever considered changing your food habits along sustainable lines?

If you want to stay healthy, not become a greasy half-tonne monster, live longer and quit suffocating and tearing up Mother Nature directly or indirectly with high demands for natural resources to grow factory animals for meat, for example, which is usually squandered at home or restaurants, the solution is simple:

GO VEGAN!!
