The
nation’s Food Safety Agency (FSA) contracted the University of East
Anglia to investigate how climate change may affect food safety and
nutrition. The recently released report “Food and Climate Change”
concluded that a low Greenhouse Gas (GHG) diet would include reduced
meat and cheese along with higher
amounts of vegetables, and protein from pulses, also known as legumes.
The
report also noted that increased consumption of legumes would have
other health benefits, stating, “If pulses are used more widely as a
protein source in place of meat and dairy foods there may be nutritional
benefits, such as those associated with vegetarian diets.
There
is (also) evidence that soy protein may be beneficial in reducing
prostate cancer risk and improving lipids.” Many thanks, Food Safety
Agency, University of East Anglia and United Kingdom, for sharing your
findings that diets rich in vegetables and plant proteins are good for
the body and the environment.
May governments and individuals
alike take such recommendations to heart and act now to restore our
planet. In her tireless care for the Earth and all its inhabitants,
Supreme Master Ching Hai has frequently highlighted the need to
eliminate meat consumption, as during a March 2009 videoconference in
Mexico.
Supreme Master Ching Hai :
The livestock raising, means animals raising, emits the greenhouse gas
of methane, the most of it. And this gas is up to 72 times more potent
than carbon dioxide, but it also dissipates much more quickly than
carbon dioxide – means CO2. So, the vegetarian diet, the vegan diet,
the animal-free diet, is one way to physically and quickly reverse the
greenhouse gases that are damaging our planet because it will cause an
immediate cooling effect. If all governments encourage people toward the
healthy, animal-free diet, the planet could be saved in no time.
