Poor American Health Could Lead to Shorter Life Span for Future Generations The writers contribute poor American health to a diet of mainly animal and processed foods. They propose a plant-based diet as the solution to rising rates of obesity, diabetes, and health care costs. They point out that modern medical training fails to emphasize behavior modification and nutrition, pushing instead a prescription agenda, targeted at solving health issues with pills. Their claim is that the US government, American Dietetic Association, and insurance and pharmaceutical industries cannot help because their interests and standards are causing the problem.
As a result, they propose that a diet revolution is needed to improve American health. Their claim is that a plant based diet versus one that is based on animal and processed based foods will not only improve American health, but will drive down the cost of health care. The writers of the article conclude by endorsing a new documentary, “Forks Over Knives.” This documentary complies years of research to promote a plant-based diet. Their hope is that the film will empower people with information and inspire them to take charge of their health and change the way they eat forever.
