How Not to Die

I recently delivered a talk on the compelling case for a plant-based diet, drawing on the evidence presented in How Not to Die by Michael Greger, M.D., with Gene Stone. The argument from self-care is clear: such a diet offers substantial health benefits.

But I also made the case for such diets when we consider the wider consequences of consuming animal products. Intensive animal farming inflicts severe damage on our environment. For example, it contributes significantly to the climate change crisis. Therefore, by reducing our consumption of animal products, we help protect the planet, an act which in turn safeguards our health.
