Curiosities about vegan diet history.
We have been taught by the society that feeding our body with meat was healthy and necessary to our inner system, but today you will find out in this article that this is not true.
In the old days this was not like that, only rich people were able to afford an everyday steak, so the 99 per cent of the population was naturally vegan most of the time. In fact my mum sometimes remembers how she was having just a piece of meat yearly. After the industrial revolution, circumstances changed and meat started to be more available and cheaper, thanks to animal exploitation.
For those who do not agree, I have more to tell you, first humans were vegan, and used to eat just fruit and veg.
All these humans many years ago were in good physical condition, even healthier than now, so that confirms the theory that a vegan diet is enough to keep a person vigorous, and on top of that, is good for the body well-being.
