Why a Plant-Based Diet?
There’s a range of good reasons to ponder a plant-based diet and vegan lifestyle…
- fast and efficient – plant food is satisfying, nutritious, delicious and quick.
- health reasons – including digestion, metabolism and chemical load.
- save money – good meat is way expensive compared to organic plant food.
- good for animals – have you looked at factory farming lately?
- good for the environment – plant-based diets create way less CO2 than meat.
Lots of Free Stuff
If you go the plant-based diet route even a little, you get to taste a little of ALL the benefits.
If you eat more plants just for your health, your choice has the happy side-effect of doing your bit to preserve the environment and some some poor animal from suffering. You get a clear conscience whether you care or not.
If you do it to save money, you will probably enjoy a growing sense of wellness and vitality … for free. No extra charge for the good vibes.
From an environmental point of view, the handy fact is that it doesn’t matter why you do it. Every vegan choice, no matter how small, demands a little less from the environment, and that’s gotta be good news.

“Everyone has to find what is right for them, and it is different for everyone. Eating for me is how you proclaim your beliefs three times a day. That is why all religions have rules about eating. Three times a day, I remind myself that I value life and do not want to cause pain to or kill other living beings. That is why I eat the way I do.” – Natalie Portman
The word vegan was made up from the first and last letters of vegetarian. The difference between the two is usually cheese, dairy, eggs and honey.

If you’re not, that was then. This is now. Just reading this matters.
