The evidence
continues to mount in favor of the power of plant-based eating for improving health outcomes. In working with children at risk for
childhood obesity and diabetes and the root causes, it is clear that kids and
their parents are targeted by food manufacturers, fast food companies, and the
pharmaceutical-medical industrial complex.
“We’ll sell them food loaded with salt, sugar, and fat, then we’ll sell
them drugs for the diseases caused by consuming processed foods filled with food additives, food dyes, and chemicals with no nutritional value.”
Choosing to
go plant-based is an easy decision if you want to feel better. Here are 3 reasons to help you consider going
plant-based:
- The environmental damage caused by the cruel factory farming of animals for human consumption is a major contributor to global warming.
- Eating primarily fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains is proven to control, manage, and reverse – yes, reverse – diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity.
- When you start choosing a plant-based way of eating, many people report an increase in energy, clearer thinking, and better sleep.
Take the
first step towards plant-based eating. Choose to eat less animal foods this
week.
