Why Black people should adopt a Vegan/Whole Foods Plantbased Lifestyle: A Thread
***Feel Free to add additional reasons or ask questions if you have any***
THEY ARE KILLING US
While them literally murdering us is something we can’t fix through diet and lifestyle. We can prevent the diseases we develop from the food they give us.
Your Health
- Black people have the highest rates or heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes and just overall bad health and the majority of cases directly correlate with diet and lifestyle
- We are also more likely to die from these diseases. Because of the medical neglect
we receive in the health care system.
- Everything isn’t genetic. These diseases are only caused by genetics less than 5% of the time.
- We should not have people dying in their 40-50s.
- most of us are lactose intolerant
Look at the Food
- the “Soul food” we eat was slave food and we had to add all this stuff and put or “soul” into it to make it edible
- you shouldn’t have the “-itis” your food should give you energy not slow you down
What You Get From these Animals
- you ingest the souls and spirits that these animals carried so you gain their screams and pain
- you get the hormones and antibiotics that they’ve been pumped up with.
Health is Wealth
- your mind,body and soul will thank you so much
- Eat to Live don’t live to eat.
Veganism isn’t a White Thing
- Black people are going Vegan at a faster rate than any other group
- look back to your roots, in west Africa specifically. A lot of people practice plantbased eating. Only using meat for seasoning
- white people gentrify everything. What makes you think they came up w/ that?
- a lot of these vegan restaurants that pop up are Black owned.
- Black people are capable of showing compassion and caring about their wellbeing just as much if not more than White people.
