In 1931 Otto warburg got nobel prize by discovering what causes cancer, and acidic foods makes up the environment for cancer to grow. Because cancer can't survive in an alkaline environment, we must alkalize our bodies, so our blood doesn't go under ph of what it is naturally
Meats and every animal product is acidic, even some herbs are acidic because they have been genetically modified (Like seedles fruits, or soybeans...), get ready to hear this one - tap water is acidic, 4-6 in ph scale, so you have to pay attention on pretty much everything you are going to consume.
Google alkaline vegan diet, and it's benefits. There are people who cured any disease by implementing it into their routine. As from religious standpoint, it's a sin if you are eating flesh, god said you can only eat meat if you don't have anything ELSE, and you are in survival situation. It's like harming others and yourself according to christ
Another thing that have been obliterating here was that plants were nutritiously "poorer" than meat and animal products, which is false. Old heritage of plants are atleast 5 - 10X nutritional dense, and they safe to eat. "New" age food crops ARE nutritional poor, that's why you see vegans are stereotypically always weak, tired, pale... But in actuality, it's because their food was genetically modified to be like that, you may ask me - "
Well who did that thing, why new plants are nutritionally weaker than their ancestor plants", monsanto did it, YES genetic engineering corporation is doing this, to get more money $$$ because you must buy their seed, and later buy their pesticides because they made like that, or otherwise plants wouldn't grow (That's not the case with old heritage plants). I remember nickgurr chart where he compared fruits to meat, and how they can't even compare. But i'm telling you, it's not the case with old heritage plants, but rather new age ones. Monsanto is controling 99% of the land appearantly, please watch this documentary to get better understanding of what i'm talking about
I'll try to find later chart proving that older plants are nutritonal 10X better than the new age ones.
