Vegan Firefighters

Here is a story that will put foot in mouth next time you hear a man say, “men need to eat meat!”  I am a true believer in bio-individuality, not one way of eating is right for everyone, but here is a story that may inspire some of the biggest meat eaters to learn more about other foods.  This approach to eating helped these firefighters lower their cholesterol, gain energy, improve their heart health and lose weight!

Excerpt from the article:

‘He became what he calls a flexitarian, someone who occasionally eats meat or fish. When that did not lower his cholesterol enough, he switched to the vegan diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes. Now, he said, his cholesterol is under 200, and he calls the way he eats “a way of life.” ‘
