Nutrition Mission
Plant based foods will help you thrive . And live a long and healthy life
There's an unfortunate list of reasons why nutrition is often
such a common area of misunderstanding. Long persisting
mistakes of the past, modern doctors lack of training in
nutrition, misinformation put out by animal use industries, long
outdated myths and old wives tales - all are helping contribute
to a society where dietary related 'diseases of affluence' such
as heart-disease, stroke, diabetes and dietary-related cancers
are by far the biggest killers in the developed world.
Below you'll find lots of great info to help you get to the
bottom of how hugely influential the food we eat is on
our health and wellbeing, and why a western diet laden
with animal products is our greatest health threat -
and how we can change it.
