i have KP and i used to be a big meat eater,
....But !!! .. i wanted to slim down to model weight, improve my appearance and live a greener, more healthy lifestyle. im vegetarian now, and since ive been vegetarian for the past 8 month, my skin has become more softer and especially less rough on the back of my arms where before, it always felt like i had goose bumps.
i totally suggest you go Vegetarian... also, scrub your body with OATMEAL SCRUB that you can find in grocery stores or drug stores, and etc.
good luck (:

Some people probably think chicken causes it because chickens have bumpy skin. It's like the old superstition about touching toads giving you warts. Sounds like magical thinking to me.

funny i noticed it was going away, but didnt know why, i thought it mightve been that it goes away as i got older
but i guess its by not eating chicken!

Okay first thing first: Ignore cliff. He always wants to keep the world the way it is. Second this is to countrified one answer I saw. Animals will never overpopulate. If they can maintain natural life style before us then we should be able to leave them alone and live a cruelty free life style
