I have to ask you if you have watched the new series on Netflix – “You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment”.\u00a0 Lots of people talking about it and a lot of people UP-SET about it.\u00a0 Upsetti Spaghetti – my daughter would say. (smile)\u00a0 It’s got some people thinking about their S.A.D (Standard American Diet) diets, and thinking of giving up meat and going vegan, and others getting upset that a vegan lifestyle is being pushed so hard that some are threatening to cancel their Netflix subscription.\u00a0 It’s four parts, so you can pretty much watch it in a few days.\u00a0 The show follows four pairs of identical twins – one is assigned a vegan diet, and the other gets to eat meat.\u00a0 Over the course of eight weeks, we follow their progress.\u00a0 The participants were picked from a larger experiment from Standford University, which had 22 pairs of identical twins in participation.\u00a0 Researchers chose twins because they were able to control for genetics and limit the other factors.\u00a0 As the trailer reveals “Everybody knows the average American diet is not very healthy. People don’t realize that what we put in our mouth is more important than anything else. Your dietary pattern can change your biology in a profound way.”<\/p>\n

I watched it.\u00a0 I’m a meat eater.\u00a0 I pretty much have chicken or beef with every meal, occasionally meatless days, and sometimes some fish.\u00a0 Watching this makes me question some of my habits.\u00a0 It makes me curious about what our food practices look like in Canada and has me thinking I probably need more veggies in my diet.<\/p>\n

There did seem to be a bit of a push for switching to vegan for the sake of the environment as much as our health.\u00a0 It was revealed the horrible living conditions for animals, and the way meat is processed and the quality that is lacking.\u00a0 Would love to know your thoughts.<\/p>\n
