Recently for health benefits our house went vegan, or on a plant based diet. The benefits are enormous and fairly immediate from weight loss to artery self healing and much much more.
Check out "The China Study" for details on benefits. Power vegans from CEO's, to Hollywood. including Ellen, and Bill Clinton are on this diet for a very good reason.
It was only a bit into this that I began to realize after my research just how enormous the impact of plant based diet shifts would have on massive reduction of GHG output. Per the UN and Scientific American...more than transportation or industry! This could be something that is very affordable and has immediate personal and community benefits, with huge impacts but we never talk about it the Green sector as a major thrust. Time to go heat up the vegan chilie which tastes just fine... Friday thoughs...Kathleen
" the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), our diets and, specifically, the meat in them cause more greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, nitrous oxide, and the like to spew into the atmosphere than eithertransportation or industry."
