“…The antiquated food pyramid is slowly toppling: …
…the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee—a panel established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services—recently recognized the value of a vegan diet…
… and instructed people to eat more plant-based foods!
While the new dietary guidelines still aren’t as good as they should be …
… they do stress the importance of eating healthy vegan foods more than previous guidelines have.
Hopefully, they’ll even convince more people to opt for chickpeas rather than chicken flesh.
With all the health benefits of a wholesome vegan diet—including a slimmer waistline, fewer cataracts, and protection against heart disease, strokes, diabetes, cancer, and even Alzheimer’s disease—
– I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t aspire to be vegan.
I lost nearly 30 pounds when I incorporated more fruits, veggies, whole grains, and legumes into my diet …
… and I’m the only one in my family who doesn’t suffer from weight problems, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure…”
