Trust me you will not find all your answers in some book. My grandfather lived to 99 years old in a 3rd world country on a diet made up of 60-70% animal protein and never went to a dr in his life. There are many like him in my country. I also have known raw Vegans that have died very young and never ate meat. A lot of what ultimately happens is already written for you in your DNA. I keep things simple, I eat food like people ate a few hundred years ago, mostly plants and not too much. I love cooking and enjoy spending time doing so and grow most of my vegetables. I also love salt water fishing and catch most of the fish I eat all year here in Sunny Florida. At the end of the day people should do what makes them happy and not worry so much about dying. That stress is what actually ages people prematurely and makes them live a life full of stress and worries in the present.
