Nearly half of Americans have high blood pressure – according to new standards from the American College of Cardiology and other associations.

‘I get incredibly frustrated with parents who get upset if you talk about giving plant-based food to children.

I’ve heard everything from it ‘not being nutritional enough’ to ‘you shouldn’t force your political beliefs on a child’ to it being ‘child abuse’!

‘This is especially ironic when coming from parents who frequently give their children McDonalds and KFC – as if that would be preferential to broccoli and beans’.

‘Also – when you point out that the earth we live on is literally dying because of the environmental impact of animal farming and meat-eaters respond with something along the lines of ‘I guess that’s a good point – but I could never stop eating steak – it’s just too delicious’.

Do they want steak or a planet for their grandchildren to live on?’
