So it makes sense that, if we want to help protect
the natural world, we should star t cutting down
on the amount of meat we eat. Thankfully, it is
possible to get all the nutrients we need from a
mostly plant-based diet. By eating plenty of nuts,
seeds, beans and vegetables, we can eat green
and stay healthy, while cutting down on the
environmental impact of our food.

Another benefit of eating more vegetarian food
is that you will be eating more vegetables. Your
parents might have been tr ying to get you to do
this for years, telling you that veggies are good
for you. Well, sorr y folks, but they are right!
Huge numbers of scientific studies have shown
that vegetarians are healthier (they suf fer less from
diseases like diabetes, cancer, hear t problems, and
obesity) and generally live longer then meat eaters.
So, better for you and better for the planet
time to think about eating green!
