VeganSyd, February 26, 2008

The author Michele Simon rightly urges us citizens to become involved in community education wherever possible. Now that people really understand that the earth cannot support a meat-based diet, it's important to let low- and middle-income folks realize that a plant based diet is just as affordable as cheap fast food. Ms. Simon is spreading the word rightly: A plant-based diet that relies on whole fruits, veggies, grains, and beans can actually be more affordable than one heavy with meat and dairy products. The key is relying on unprocessed foods. Ms. Simon: "The science says that we should be eating mostly plant-based food, but the government recommendations reflect the desire of Big Food." In Portland, we're spreading the word too: Since meat is the no. 1 cause of global warming, our public outreaches find people agreeing to "Go Vegan On Mondays" since 20% more heart attacks occur on Mondays. And Portland is the most vegan-friendly large city in the United States. We need more books like Michele Simon's, showing us what we can do now to save the world.
