Protein, Omnivore, Herbivores, statistics!!
How can I get that from just veggies...?
pro·tein
ˈprōˌtēn/
noun
- any of a class of nitrogenous organic compounds that consist of large molecules composed of one or more long chains of amino acids and are an essential part of all living organisms, especially as structural components of body tissues such as muscle, hair, collagen, etc., and as enzymes and antibodies.
- proteins collectively, especially as a dietary component."a diet high in protein"
If you read the definition above, it does not mention that you NEED to intake your protein from ONLY animals. Are you familiar with WHY our society started to eat animals? Do you know what happens to your body from consuming animal product?
In my research, yes , society classifies us as omnivores but we are NOT, we are herbivores. It doesn't read, a person that eats cooked animals...and doesn't read that we instinctively eat animals. Words of Gary Yourofsky
" Put a 2 year old in the crib with a bunny and an apple, if the baby is eating the bunny and playing with the apply, I'll buy you all a brand new car." That's just it, we are not instinctively programs to eat animals not to mention, eat them raw, like the animals we claim to be. It wasn't til most recently we eat them in our society as a luxury. But at what cost? The agriculture to feed, raise, house, and slaughter the animals is destroying not only our environment, but we still have 1 BILLION starving people on Earth!! When we have enough food to feed 11 BILLION people! My point is that, we can ALL be fed, save the abused/slaughtered animals, and have less disease/cancer in the WORLD!

Yes, I realize the definition just reads animal, but we are mammals ( animals)! We have teeth that chew from side to side and not up and down, like a carnivore. We are all very well cable of surviving and being healthier on a vegan diet.
Here is an article about meat consumption causing cancers:
Statistics at a Glance: The Burden of Cancer in the United States
- In 2015, an estimated 1,658,370 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States and 589,430 people will die from the disease.
- The most common cancers in 2015 are projected to be breast cancer, lung and bronchus cancer, prostate cancer, colon and rectum cancer, bladder cancer, melanoma of the skin, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, thyroid cancer, kidney and renal pelvis cancer, endometrial cancer, leukemia, and pancreatic cancer.
- The number of new cases of cancer (cancer incidence) is 454.8 per 100,000 men and women per year (based on 2008-2012 cases).
- The number of cancer deaths (cancer mortality) is 171.2 per 100,000 men and women per year (based on 2008-2012 deaths).
- Cancer mortality is higher among men than women (207.9 per 100,000 men and 145.4 per 100,000 women). It is highest in African American men (261.5 per 100,000) and lowest in Asian/Pacific Islander women (91.2 per 100,000). (Based on 2008-2012 deaths.)
- The number of people living beyond a cancer diagnosis reached nearly 14.5 million in 2014 and is expected to rise to almost 19 million by 2024.
- Approximately 39.6 percent of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetimes (based on 2010-2012 data).
- In 2014, an estimated 15,780 children and adolescents ages 0 to 19 were diagnosed with cancer and 1,960 died of the disease.
- National expenditures for cancer care in the United States totaled nearly $125 billion in 2010 and could reach $156 billion in 2020.
Statistics at a Glance: The Burden of Cancer Worldwide
- Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide. In 2012, there were 14 million new cases and 8.2 million cancer-related deaths worldwide.
- The number of new cancer cases will rise to 22 million within the next two decades.
- More than 60 percent of the world’s new cancer cases occur in Africa, Asia, and Central and South America; 70 percent of the world’s cancer deaths also occur in these regions.
The World Health Organization’s website has more information about cancer statistics across the world.
Becoming Vegan will lower ALL of these numbers! It will KICK cancer in it's ASS! Cancer is a mutation of cells forming together. That is from consuming the cells of animal meat and milk! Please also check out your own personal research, but I stand by the vegan way and know you will not find many people that are STRICTLY Vegan with cancer, diseases, sickness, or health issues. I'm talking about people that also don't smoke, drink, do drugs, and consume other poisonous products to go along with their diet. Some people may have consumed so much animal meat and when they change to being a vegan, they may still get some problems from their animal consumption, but in the long run, it will give their body a chance to heal and live a bit longer than staying on an animal meat eating diet!
