PLANT-BASED DIET Ted Talk

Can you imagine a world where the animals that are killed for people to eat pollute 130 times more than the human population? Can you imagine a world where one pound of beef that was raised in the forest 55 feet of that forest is destroyed? Can you imagine a world that the things making up 50% of our diet is giving us cancer diabetes and other killing diseases? Can you imagine a world where all of this can be stoped with no medication just a diet? Well, this is the world we live in and all of this can be stopped with a plant-based diet. The solution to these problems seems too good to be true. You eat plant-based foods and the world, your health, and these animals will all benefit. My first reaction to a plant-based diet might have been similar to many of yours WHY? I knew that animals were being killed but I did not think it had anything to do with the environment. But I was interested in it and I listened to a podcast by Oprah Winfrey and Suzi Amis Cameron. It talked about schools going plant-based and how teachers and students were having better attitudes and were becoming interested in the plant-based diet. Suzi Amis Cameron also informed us with an amazing fact she said changing one meal to plant-based a day saves 200,000 gallons of water and the carbon equivalent from driving from LA to New York. That is for just one person and imagine if the world went plant-based. So next time you eat a burger think of what has happened to the world by making it, and next time you eat a plant-based meal make sure you think about what you are doing to help the world. Because just one person can make a huge difference.
