Eat Healthy for a Healthy Body and a Healthy Planet

You probably already know that a diet containing red meat increases your risk of heart disease, cancer and many other health problems. But you may not be aware of how this diet effects the health of the planet.

After carbon dioxide, which comes from burning fossil fuels, the second most destructive greenhouse gas is methane, which comes from the livestock industry.

If you give up eating red meat and choose a plant based diet, not only will you and your family be healthier, you will save one and a half tons of greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere each year.

Eat healthy. Be good to yourself, your family and your planet.
