cereal ice bars
Your 'Pringle' contains 30% potato, that yoghurt has the same amount of sugar as ice cream, that whole grain cereal bar may be no better for you than a snickers.
fake healthy alternatives
The truly healthy alternative to that chip is not a fake chip; it’s a carrot.
memories short-memory
It's good to have a short memory because it keeps life fresh.
motivational people world
1 billion people in the world are chronically hungry. 1 billion people are overweight.
thinking animal benefits
I'll never stop eating animals, I'm sure, but I do think that for the benefit of everyone, the time has come to stop raising them industrially and stop eating them thoughtlessly
stuff plant evidence
This evidence is overwhelming at this point. You eat more plants, you eat less other stuff, you live longer.
environmental weight satisfaction
If you embrace moderation, eat whole foods instead of junk, live within your physical, monetary, and environmental budget rather than constantly exceeding it, you will lose weight, tread more lightly on the planet, and gain satisfaction from these things.
hands junk matter
The USDA is not our ally here. We have to take matters into our own hands, not only by advocating for a better diet for everyone - and that's the hard part - but by improving our own. And that happens to be quite easy. Less meat, less junk, more plants.
real broken needs
We need real farmers who grow real food, and the will to reform a broken food system. And for that, we need not only to celebrate farmers, but also to advocate for them.
running government issues
People need help to change the way they eat... this is what government is for in my opinion.... We should make food an issue for everyone who runs for office.
self cooking defense
I got into cooking out of self-defense.
hurt thinking years
I think people at least now, as opposed to ten-15-20 years ago, kind of get it, what is the bad food. I think, before, there was a time when they didn't even get it that processed food was hurting them. Now, I think they get that, but the big enemies to switching over to good food are convenience.
animal years eating
We are already eating less animal foods since a few years ago, but we are still eating 8-9 billion animals per year.
struggle fighting years
50-100 years from now we are all going to be eating a plant based diet. Whether that happens through a catastrophe or a peaceful sustainable life giving way is based on whether we make the right choices now and how we fight in this struggle together.
