Why Plant-Based?

It is well-accepted by health experts that a plant-based (vegan) diet can provide all the nutrients you need.

Both the Dieticians of Canada and the U.S. Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics agree that appropriately planned plant-based diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases, and are appropriate for all stages of life.

Animals are living, breathing and feeling beings, just like us. We all share the same love of life and the desire to avoid pain. Many of us consider animals like cats and dogs to be family members. Some of us might even describe ourselves as “animal lovers.”

Yet, we treat farmed animals as if they were mere objects or machines that exist for our own use. We bring them into the world only to be kept, almost always, under horrific conditions and then brutally killed at a small fraction of their natural lifespans, so that humans can eat their flesh and reproductive products.
