The End of theMeat Industry

Some doctors wonder whetherthey should recommend thattheir patients stop eatingmeat. The act is, the juryrendered its verdict long ago.

G rowing up in North D kot , thcr g roun my hom town w u or c tt n c tt . T

rm r th m v w r goo p optrying to m k iving. My gr n th rr i c tt , n my unc n cou in

o ow in hi oot t p .Unbeknownst to all of us, researchers had meanwhile set up shop in Framingham, Mass., mea-

suring cholesterol levels and blood pressure, and studying who stayed healthy and who did not in

the Framingham Heart Study. Their painstaking research linked the very foods my family raised toheart disease, high blood pressure, and other health problems. Since then, it has become abundantly clear that meat eating increases the risk of other problems, too. Meat-eaters have three times therisk of diabetes, compared with vegans. Red and processed meats are clearly linked to colon cancerand other forms of the disease. The regular string of meat recalls shows us how often fecal bacteriacontaminate meat products, sometimes leading to deadly infections.

But health problems were just the beginning. Environmentalists soon weighed in, pointing outthat grains used to feed cattle could be much more ef ciently used to feed people. And growingmassive amounts of feed grains for animals creates havoc for the environment.

Irrigation of feed grains uses far more water than watering our lawns, washing our cars, or any other routine human activity. It takes about a million gallons of water to grow just one acre of corn. As that water trickles into rivers and streams, it carries fertilizer along with itfertilizer thatthe farmers had applied to their elds. That fertilizer makes algae overgrow in the waterways. And

as algae decomposes, it uses up oxygen in the water, killing marine life.Long before BP fouled the Gulf of Mexico with oil, there was already an8,000-square-mile dead zone below Louisiana and Texas, all thanks toAmerican agriculture.

Each cow is as big as a sofa, and in the United States, the combinedmass of the 100 million or so beef and dairy cattle easily outweighs thatof the human population. Every last one is busily belching methane intothe airmethane that is produced as the feed in their stomachs ferments.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gasmuch more potent than carbon dioxide.At any given time, the result is an enormous invisible methane cloud.

Some doctors wonder whether they should recommend that their patientsstop eating meat. Many laypeople wonder if its better to set meat aside. Thefact is, the jury rendered its verdict long ago. Whether we are thinking of ourcoronary arteries, our children, or the Earth, it is time to rethink our foodchoices and act accordingly.

With 840 calories, 37 grams of fat, and about as much sodiumas a child should consume in an entire day, McDonaldsMighty Kids Meal has topped a list of the ve most unhealthfulfast-food meals marketed to children. The list, based on analysisby PCRM dietitians, also includes meals from Wendys, KFC, andA&W, as well as Burger Kings just-released BK Kids Breakfast Meal.

Kids shouldnt have to dodge cholesterol bombs packaged incolorful, toy- lled boxes, says PCRM nutrition education directorSusan Levin, M.S., R.D. Were losing the war against childhoodobesity, but fast-food chains are still making obscene pro ts bytargeting children with high-fat meals.

Here are the ve most unhealthful kids meals, ranked fromworst to least bad:

Diabetes Educators LearnVegan Approach

PCRM educated health care professionals about the bene ts of a plant-based approach to treating diabetes at the AmericanAssociation of Diabetes Educators annual meeting in San Antoniothis August.

More than 500 diabetes educators attended PCRMs screening of Forks Over Knives, the new documentary examining how most de-generative diseases can be controlled, or even reversed, by remov-ing animal products from the diet.

Dr. Barnards research on how a vegan diet can prevent andreverse diabetes was presented in a poster session titled InsulinResistance and Diet: E ective utrition as First-Line Treatment.PCRM director of diabetes education and care Caroline Trapp,

M.S. ., C.D.E., presented on PCRMs GEICO workplace weight-loss study and on reimbursement for vegan nutrition education.Brenda Davis, R.D., author of Becoming Vegan and De eating Diabe-tes, discussed her experience helping people in the Marshall Islandsmanage their diabetes through healthy eating.

During the conferences awards ceremony, PCRM presented therst PCRM/American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE)

Foundation award, the Plant-Based utrition Education Scholar-ship. The winner, Julie Mantis, R. ., M.S., manages the diabeteseducation program at Community Hospital in Crown Point, Ind. Ms.Mantis application essay explained how PCRMs presentations atthe 2009 AADE conference and the 21-Day Vegan Kickstart programhelped her switch to a vegan diet and inspire her patients and co-workers. Ms. Mantis says shes now a better athlete and can speak con dently about this healthy nutrition option with her patients.

K ristin Bauer, whoplays a vampireon the TV series TrueBlood , has joined

ew Mexico Gov. BillRichardson and manyothers who are speak-ing out on behalf of the Alamogordo

chimpanzees.Ive always been fascinated by chimpanzees.

We now know that these amazing animals usetools, grieve for their dead, and are capable of complex communication with humans, wroteBauer in her letter to IH director Francis S. Col-lins, M.D., Ph.D. When chimpanzees are used ininvasive experiments, they are kept in small metalcages, deprived of normal social interaction, andoften subjected to harmful procedures.

Action Alert

Contact the FDA About Animal Testing

Every day, thousands of animals are experimented on and killedto create and test drugs, many of which will never help a sick human being. Thats why PCRM and an international coalitionof scientists, doctors, and animal-protection organizations filedthe Mandatory Alternatives Petition with the .S. Food and DrugAdministration. The petition asks the FDA to mandate the use of validated nonanimal testing methods, when those alternativesexist, to create safer drugs for American consumers.

The FDA is currently reviewing the initiative. During this time, weneed you to contact the FDA and urge the agency to mandate theuse of validated alternatives to animal tests. Please write to:

European Space Agency OpposesMonkey Experiments

The European Space Agency recently became the rst spaceagency to voice clear opposition to primate experimentation.In April, the agencys director Jean-Jacques Dordain wrote a letterto Animal Defenders International stating that the European SpaceAgency (ESA) declines any interest in monkey research and doesnot consider any need oruse for such result.

This demonstrates aclear opposition to ASAsproposed monkey radiation experiments. PCRM and other orga-nizations are urging ASA to consider ESAs views and focus onnonanimal research methods relevant to human astronauts.
