6. This event doesn’t really relate to me but someone I knew was having serious heart problems. He was really fat and would eat a lot. For a while he was coughing up blood and he decided to go to a doctor. They have him medicine and after a long while he decided to get off it because it was really bad and he wanted to try something else. So awhile he tried going vegan to get rid of his problem and it worked. He decided to go vegan so he won’t have to deal with that anymore
