Answer:

The GIT mucus lining of the GIT serve as a physical barrier to the movement of digested food substances.

The mucus also help to prevent inflammation of the bowels; by reducing  or suppressing immune response to inflammation.

In Cystic fibrosis, the blockage of the ducts by the mucus, prevents enzymes from reaching the digestive  food substances,. The resulting undigested food substances leads to bloating, pain, cramps, gas, smelly belch, constipation, and smelly stools.

Answer:

         A plant based diet is clearly more nutritious. In fact, all protein orginates in plants. This is because it does not contain cholestrol, has very little amounts of fat, and is the only source of fiber. The science also bears this out. A plant based diet requires less recourses because it does not require the feeing of animals. The grain, fruit, vegtables, etc. goes directly to huaman, rather than being given to a imprisoned animals first. People should not only eat less meat, the should eat no meat. This is due to the three pillars of veganism. Ethics, envirnonment, and health. It is unethical to keep a animal in a cage it's short life and murder it. It is not envronmentally safe to raise trillions of animals a year all of whom produce methane, which is 16x more potent than CO2. And for health. It is increadable unhealthy to eat animal products. T. Colin Campbell has found a connection between cancer and dairy. Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn has found a undeinable link to heart disease. There are may more connections like this, which are very clear in their message: Humans can not handle the saturated fat, HEME iron, cholestrol, sugars, inflammatory substances, and everything else that comes with eating animals. Humans basic biology says we should not eat meat. We cannot murder animals with the tools that nature gave us.
