Mark Bittman Explains Vegan Before Six To “AARP”
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 29th, 2013 in Authors, Food & Drink.
The vegetarian and vegan movement is often associated with a younger crowd.
But as New York Times columnist and book author Mark Bittman explains to AARP, you can go vegan at any age.
Even if it’s just until dinnertime.
Of his self-created “vegan before six” program that only allows meat products for one meal a day, Bittman explained:
“I’m 63. It’s doable. You’re only changing your diet for two-thirds of the time. I mean, do you want to live a longer, higher quality life or not? Some people say, “I don’t care, I’m going to eat my cheeseburgers.” Those are not the people this book is addressed to. Obviously.”
And while eating this type of flexitarian diet won’t guarantee you’ll find the fountain of youth, Bittman gives seniors his word it comes with health benefits.
“You know, I’m not here to be God or anybody’s mother, I’m just here to say if you eat a largely plant-based diet and are pretty strict about it before 6 you’re probably going to see improved health and weight loss.”
