“China is perhaps the best-studied example. There, a transition away from the country’s traditional, plant-based diet was accompanied by a sharp rise in diet-related chronic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer.38”

“you had two people eating the same number of calories, it appears the person eating more meat would, on average, gain significantly more weight.”
Michael Greger, How Not to Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“SPECIAL PLATES Notice how each particle moves.
Notice how everyone has just arrived here
     from a journey.
Notice how each wants a different food.
Notice how the stars vanish as the sun comes up,
     and how all streams stream toward the ocean.
Look at the chefs preparing special plates
     for everyone, according to what they need.
Look at this cup that can hold the ocean.
Look at those who see the face.
Look through Shams’ eyes
     into the water that is
     entirely jewels.”
Rumi, The Essential Rumi
