An Innovative Plan for a healthier diet and a greener earth. 

By Wendy Condrat
Most of us are aware of how a better diet influences our mental, physical,and emotional well-being — providing more energy and eliminating sources of disease-causing foods. 

Forks Over Knives (forksoverknives.com) has presented a great website with all the sound information on how to begin switching from a meat- and dairy-based diet to a fresh wholesome one.

When we begin eating whole unprocessed foods and fruits and vegetables, we will experience an unexpected amount of vitality avoiding those cancer-causing, diabetic inducing and heart-damaging substances which are some of the main contributors to our health crisis. 

Take the first step by reading over why this diet makes sense. Look at some of the tasty recipes and try a few out. You will be amazed at how you feel after a meal!

When titling this “Drop the Knife!,” I meant only when at the table but use the knife to help chop up all the goodness and freshness in preparation. 

Aim to begin incorporating more and more of these recipes into your weekly meals and see whether you are less interested in the old burgers and fries and more into a tasty plant-based Shepherd’s Pie.

And since this column is about environmental issues, note that this concept is great for reducing carbon emissions from the agricultural sectors and improving soils as well. 

 We need to honor our commitment to our family’s health and the greening of our Earth.

      ENJOY!
