FIRST DAY OF SPRING! And it’s also one small step, one giant leap for Syracuse Ny! March 20th is officially Proclamation: Meatout Day! - Thank you Mayor Ben Walsh for this act of awareness, compassion, & presence. - Consumption of animal foods and processed foods may cause at least 14 million deaths around the world every year. 14 million people dead. Those of us involved in this evidence-based nutrition revolution are part of a movement with 14 million lives in the balance, every year. - It took 25 years before the first Surgeon General’s report against smoking came out. - It took more than 7,000 studies, and the deaths of countless smokers, before the powers-that-be officially recognized the link. - You’d think after the first 6,000 studies they could have given people a little heads up, or something? Powerful industry, right? - Every less bite you take for yourself also effects the world you share. 1 gallon of milk takes 1000 gallons of water—Millions of animals are raped in the process, yes raped. Many more killed for our greed of taste & over consumption. A consumption that does nothing for our survival, health, vitality, or feeling great today!—nothing. - It’s important to also know the effects of animal agriculture on our environment. Massive deforestation & destruction that many hold a closed eye, ear, & mouth to because it doesn’t effect them immediately. Even if we went all renewable energy (which is necessary) it doesn’t matter compared to the impact of the meat on you’re plate driving massive emissions that is severely threatening the climate, species, & reshaping ecosystems. - If you live in the Syracuse area. Stop in to @strongheartscafe today and grab a meatless bite to eat. They’re donating proceeds to a great cause in celebration of this remarkable step forward. . . . #plantbased #wholefoods #wfpb #vegan #HowNotToDie #veganeats #meatout #syracuse #environment #health #compassion #wholefoodvegan #plantbaseddiet #nodairy #nomeat #meatless #nooil #benwalsh #heartdisease #cancer #stroke #diabetes #eatplants #trainhard #hustle #cuse #nutrition #plants #veggies #plantbasedathlete
