Without trying to sell anything and explain something that others can do in a much better fashion, all I recommend is that you keep an open mind while the rest of the world would rather stay unaware or worse, convince you that you're the one that has it backwards.

There's already many youtube videos that you can watch that talk about the known fact that Meat and Milk products actually increase all the metabolic and heart diseases that most of the 'civilized' nations have to deal with.

My first suggestion is to watch:

The Starch Solution by John McDougall
Foods for Protecting the Body & Mind by Dr. Neal Barnard

For why Milk is bad, explained in a very scientific and chemical breakdown, youtube

Udderly Amazing / Life at Its Best by Walter Veith

SDragon, I couldn't agree more. I eliminated meat, milk and sugar (other than what's in some foods) more than 20 years ago, when I became a vegetarian. I have since had excellent health.

That's almost an hour and a half long. I'm really not up to spending that much time on it. But I am curious, as surely it's mentioned, what does he say about mother's milk?

It's fine to give an approximate time on the YT vid where he goes into this.

Btw, having been raised on a farm, I know there's a big difference between cow's milk straight from the udder and what gets sold in stores. Back when I was under doctor's orders to gain weight, Granny had me drink raw milk (*) as it's supposed to be as fattening as nutritious. It wasn't enough, not even with all the other methods (I was just way too athletic as well as having to work on a farm, all in the humid Texas heat), but it was one of the best tasting treats I had, and seemed to give me an energy burst (which just contributed to defeating the purpose of my drinking it since I then worked off the fattening aspects).

From my research and other videos as well, basically human mother's milk is the best milk for our infants because it's natural and just like other animals, it's designed specifically for our species. Almost all other animals ween their infants up to a certain stage and then they stop and once their children develop, their children no longer need to acquire the nutrients their body needs from their mother's milk but can digest them directly from their natural food source. Humans are the only species that have somehow convinced ourselves that after we stop taking in our mother's milk that somehow we now need to take in an animals milk that was never designed for us as a regular part of our diet.

Now I'm not saying it can't be used for special circumstances as long as there's a specific purpose, but today's nutritionists will have you convinced that you should be having some form of dairy everyday in all three meals. There have been studies that have shown that excess protein in the body is actually the cause of osteoporosis and yet we promote milk calcium as the cure of the disease when casein protein is one of the main causes for the disease itself.

But in one of John McDougall's videos about the milk fraud, he shows studies that demonstrate that even mother's milk can impact the fetus and affect their growth development if the mother takes in too much dairy or meat products. We know about drug addiction being passed down but we never think about the impact of the products we take in for sustenance.

===================================

"You need meat to get protein"
"You need milk to get calcium"
"You need fish to get omega 3 fats"
"You need vitamins and supplements to be healthy"

With only a little research and awareness, it shouldn't take one long to begin to see that just like the tobacco industry tried to keep us in the dark for so long, other industries are doing the same. They are experts at the propaganda game to the point where we just repeat what they say, "A new study shows..."

But since when have they actually ever 'educated' the population to whom they seem to be so concerned about? Do they tell you that actual carnivores have 3x the acid in their stomach than humans to digest the meat and bones of their prey? Do they explain that the stomach acts like a chamber valve and that only once ALL the intake food is broken down, then it gets passed to the intestines - so if you combine vegetables and fruits which are broken down easily with meats which are not, the longer the vegetables and fruits are in the stomach, the more they ferment and this is the real reason for acid reflex and heartburn? No, because then they'd have to either convince us that vegetables and fruits are the bad guys or admit that meat is. Do they explain how our body manages its own balance of omega 3-omega 6 fat ratios and that if we would only stop overloading this ratio that we wouldn't need to get omega 3's from fish as our body would naturally manage this themselves?
