    If anyone wants help going vegan, I’d be happy to help. Even if it’s infeasible to get enough people in the world to stop eating animals fast enough to avert the next pandemic, there is evidence that people who eat plant-based have better outcomes from getting sick, as well as just getting sick less in general. Not to mention getting animal products out of your homes reduces one of the vectors through which pathogens can spread. So at the very least you’d be giving yourself your own best chance (just keep in mind it’s no replacement for vaccinations!)

      I’ve been sick so much less since I became vegan. I always had a cold a couple of times a year all my life, but now I’ve had two very mild ones in 5 years. I also haven’t had covid, even though my family and many friends have, I didn’t use a mask that much and my country didn’t have lockdown in the way most did (Sweden).

        Right, the difference in immune benefit is so crystal clear for everyone who makes the switch, not even considering the other myriad benefits like heart health, diabetes reversal/mitigation, weight loss, and mental health benefits.

      Sounds like a steak side salad would be beneficial.

        No, no it would not be beneficial. That would be the opposite of beneficial (unless it’s plant-based steak).

            Eating the flesh of an animal is not good for anyone. It’s not good for the animal who was abused their whole life and murdered. It’s not good for the environment. It’s not good for all the beings who get sick from pathogens because of it. And it’s not even good for the human animal who consumes the other animal’s flesh.
