Yes , I too was with you until you went to the vegan thing. You say you are spiritual, do you read the bible: meat is acceptable you know. If you abuse and over-use anything it can be bad for you, it's all in the choices you make...you can choose to eat a big gigantic slab of red meat or you can choose to have a small portion of steamed or grilled salmon......see.....it's not the food that's bad, it's the choices of the people.
