I posted this on Facebook Friday afternoon, and I thought it was just too good to not share with everyone. James McWilliams presents the evidence for a plant-based diet in a thoughtful rational eloquent voice. Thank you, Amy, for sharing it with me. Click here for the article.
As the article's author James McWilliams says:
"There's plenty of science to justify a plant-based diet, but the stories of personal transformation—curing diabetes, losing 100 pounds, living an active lifestyle—make the biggest impression."
James McWilliams, an associate professor of history at Texas State University, San Marcos, and author of Just Food: Where Locavores Get It Wrong and How We Can Truly Eat Responsibly.
