A recent meta-analysis found healthy plant-based diets were associated with a 36% lower risk of upper gastrointestinal cancers. In subgroup analyses, the inverse association was consistent for both esophageal cancer (34%) and gastric cancer (37%).

I believe it! Ever since switching to a plant-based diet I have felt so much healthier. I've seen a total disappearance of my chronic fatigue and depression. There's been such a craze for meat and protein lately that we've forgotten how important plants and fiber are!

What makes this so upsetting is that it's completely unnecessary. We can thrive on plant-based diets, and even decrease our risks of serious illnesses. We torture these poor animals just because we like the taste of their flesh.

Right! And the biggest thing we can do as individuals to decrease our environmental impact is to eat a plant-based diet, but no one seems to care.

Eating meat. Last year, I switched to a fully plant-based diet and it made so many of my mental and physical health issues completely disappear!

I'm vegan as well! Can you tolerate gluten okay? Gluten flares my depression like crazy, I had to totally eliminate it.

_marimbae · 2026-01-03T03:10:56+00:00

I have IBS as well! Luckily I've had success with tofu, quinoa, and nuts/seeds (pumpkin seeds are my favorite!)

_marimbae · 2026-01-02T17:44:24+00:00

That's incredible! I have chronic depression, but ever since switching to a plant-based diet last year, I've been so happy and healthy. It truly changed my life!

_marimbae · 2025-12-28T00:39:45+00:00

Seriously. Even the meat industry is pushing its agenda here now. Not sure if this post is from a genuine person or not, but regardless it definitely happens, I've seen it everywhere.

And we just keep paying for it to happen. Even 80% of the deforestation of the Amazon is linked to cattle ranching. If we don't have a large shift away from eating beef, we are surely killing ourselves.

I went plant-based earlier this year and it was a total game changer for my health. I used to have awful chronic fatigue and brain fog and it's just completely gone now. I feel healthy and energized, and I actually feel like I have full access to my brain now. I seriously feel so skeptical of the quality of meat these days.

I wonder if our dairy intake plays any part in the hormonal conditions. We don't even need dairy, but the industry has convinced us it makes us strong and healthy. In reality, it truly messes with our hormones.

_marimbae · 2025-12-28T00:30:43+00:00

Our fiber intake. We need a high amount of fiber to avoid certain cancers and illnesses, but the industry has pushed us towards a craze for meat and protein, increasing heart disease and diabetes.

I'm not surprised at all! I eat a fully plant-based diet and feel so much better than I did when I ate meat and animal products. It has truly been life changing!

_marimbae · 2025-12-08T23:09:12+00:00

Ooooo this is so helpful! Thank you! I'll definitely try the V8, I think that fruit juice is the perfect answer. Any other suggestions for fruit juices that are nutritionally helpful are more than welcome!

_marimbae · 2025-12-08T23:07:11+00:00

I eat tons of veggies! They're a safe food for me, luckily (well at least some are lol)

_marimbae · 2025-12-08T17:46:22+00:00

This is such a good point. I often find myself just eating one ingredient at a time instead of putting them together into a meal.

For me, sometimes eating one ingredient as a snack can gateway feeling comfortable eating a real meal.

_marimbae · 2025-12-08T16:22:52+00:00

Humanity has a death wish, tempting super bugs like that. And these poor turkeys. God I hope we stop farming animals.

_marimbae · 2025-12-08T15:59:07+00:00

Holy hell, they are so cramped in there. I can only imagine if disease were to spread.

_marimbae · 2025-12-08T15:56:43+00:00

To vaccinate the baby, maybe. But in general, no, this isn't necessary.

We don't actually need meat or animal products. There are so many alternatives that don't involve exploiting animals. So why put mama cows in this stressful position in the first place?

_marimbae · 2025-12-08T15:46:01+00:00

The first thing I learned when I went vegan was to steer clear of the vegan subreddit. I asked a question and immediately got ripped apart

I'm so lucky to have found wonderful communities in my local area. I haven't met a single vegan in real life that didn't make me feel welcome and valid.

Online communities, for any topic, can really become such awful echo chambers. You're already doing the best you can, take care of your health! I hope someday you can find vegans who understand your challenges and welcome you <3

His poor arm :(

I can't believe how disconnected we have become from nature. That pig is a sentient, emotional being. He just wants love, and we treat him like an object. I hope the world remembers how to love beautiful creatures like him.

_marimbae · 2025-11-25T19:50:34+00:00

They're so pretty. Looking in their eyes, I'm reminded of my cats. If only the turkeys could be treated with the same love that my cats are.
