Sending a big mahalo to Sen. Mike Gabbard and the legislators for introducing and voting in favor of Senate Concurrent Resolution 101 supporting a plant-based lifestyle. It urges our citizens to make a healthy choice; a choice for nutrition, for the environment, for the animals and for plant-based building materials.
Our nation is facing a severe health crisis with obesity and other chronic diseases. The science is clear: Plant-based eating can help prevent and/or reverse our most prevalent chronic diseases, acne, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, heart disease, strokes, cancer, inflammation, chronic pain and obesity.
