Diet plays a crucial role in preventing Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, dementia, and some cancers. It also impacts the environment, the origins of pandemics, and our animal friends. This lecture will explore the negative consequences of a meat and dairy-based diet, the forces influencing diet choices, and the numerous benefits of adopting a plant-based diet, for both individuals and the planet. The lecture concludes with a food prep video, demonstrating how easy and delicious plant-based eating can be. This program is being presented with limited enrollment to foster discussion.
