Compared to meat-based diets, plant-based diets are significantly less harmful to the environment in terms of greenhouse gases produced, and air, soil and water pollution, and use far fewer natural resources such as soil and water. With the world’s population growing every day, there is simply no way our planet can sustain an increased demand for meat.

Plant-based diets are also far healthier, considering the many diet-related diseases prevalent in the United States.

Our planet and the world population require a dramatic course change in which meat and dairy consumption gives way to a plant-based sustainable diet. There are ways to do that and my guest Mark Rifkin will get you on your way.
