The case for becoming a vegetarian






Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. 
- Albert Einstein

 


Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.

Red Meat is bad for you and bad for the Planet


UC San Francisco researcher and vegetarian diet advocate Dr. Dean Ornish said he gleaned a hopeful message from the study ( Red Meat Consumption Increases Risk of Early Death) .


"Something as simple as a meatless Monday can help," he said. "Even small changes can make a difference."


Additionally, Ornish said,

"What's good for you is also good for the planet."

In an editorial that accompanied the study, Ornish wrote that a plant-based diet could help cut annual healthcare costs from chronic diseases in the U.S., which exceed $1 trillion. 
Shrinking the livestock industry could also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and halt the destruction of forests to create pastures, he wrote.
