Vegetarian Star

“Here is a film that could save your life.”

“What every human being should do is eat a vegetarian diet based on whole foods. Period. That’s it. Animal protein is bad for you. Dairy is bad for you. Forget the ads: Milk and eggs are bad for you. Skim milk is no better, because it contains proportionately more animal protein. What you’re trying to avoid is dietary cholesterol. You also need to cut way down on salt and sugar, and run like hell from high fructose corn syrup.”

“The bottom line: I am convinced this message is true. A plant-based whole foods diet is healthy.”

—Roger Ebert, in a review of the documentary Forks Over Knives at the Chicago Sun-Times.

At least that road trip is now a lot easier with detailed driving instructions, mileage, driving time and a map using Google Maps.

Prevention magazine has been providing the world with the latest news and advice on health, nutrition and cooking for decades.

In a recent online article, the magazine has joined the growing trend of mainstream magazines recognizing the vegetarian and vegan lifestyle as a valuable component to health and featured five women who opted to go veg for reasons ranging from health to animal rights.

An organic gardner, a collectibles dealer, nurse, marketing consultant and jewelry designer all removed meat from their diets. Three of the women removed animal products entirely and went vegan.

The Organic Gardener:
“Now I’m purely vegan, and I eat more produce than I ever imagined possible. I’ll saute a big batch of veggies for the week. I freeze vegetables straight from my garden and can them, and I make my own salsa.”
