If You Eat Three Times Each Day...
You'll eat about 1,100 meals this year, not including snacks. If you eat like the average American, these 1,700 pounds of food will include the flesh of about 100 individual animals. This information is horrific, but the bad news doesn't stop there. Animal products are bad for your health!
- Compared to meat-eaters, vegetarians have lower incidences of...
- Cancer,
- Diabetes,
- Heart disease,
- High blood pressure, and
- Obesity.
- Atherosclerosis (which kills about 500,000 Americans each year) is virtually nonexistent among vegans. Incidentally, natural carnivores (i.e. lions and tigers and bears) cannot contract this arterial disease. Oh my!
- Doctors believe that almost all heart attacks are caused by clogged arteries and that all are preventable, if a patient's cholesterol is kept below 150. The average American cholesterol level is 210. The average vegan cholesterol is just 133.
- Animal products contain no fiber or complex carbohydrates.
- As many cancers are caused by diet as by smoking.
- A Harvard Medical school study (and the longest clinical trial in history) concludes that a plant-based diet lowers the risk of cancer by 60%. The results indicate that animal protein, itself, is carcinogenic.
- When surveyed, vegetarians consistently report more energy and better moods than meat-eaters.
- Vegans are 1/10th as likely to be obese as the rest of Americans.
