More veges: less strokes and heart disease

Every so often I find yet more evidence that the western high meat diet is not good news. This time it's in terms of personal health.
“hose who ate more vegetable protein tended to have lower blood pressure than those who ate less.”
But it's worth recalling, too, how much land, water, oil, grain, well resources in general go into raising meat. Save the rainforests, eat less meat. In a world where many have not enough to eat, it feels to me wrong to be contributing further to that injustice by insisting on levels of meat consumption that are globally unsustainable.
Sermon over.
