A study by the US National Cancer Institute, has looked at the diets of 500,000 people. Those eating the highest amount of meat were more likely to die during the course of the ten year study. The study noted that not only does meat have the unhealthiest forms of fat it also contains cancer-causing chemicals. Unsurprisingly, the meat industry has denounced the study as flawed.
PLANEAT would welcome the opportunity to prepare a plant-based meal for the President of the Meat Institute, whose best defense for meats role in a balanced diet is that it provides “satisfaction and fullness”.
