Health Why Eat Your Veggies? Eating a low-fat diet packed with nutritious vegetables, fruits, beans and whole grains reduces levels of "bad" cholesterol twice as much as eating a low-fat diet that's heavy on prepackaged foods, a recent study has found. Researchers studied two groups of individuals on diets that were identical in total fat, saturated fat, protein, carbohydrate and cholesterol content. One group was on a low-fat diet that included large quantities of plant-based foods, such as vegetables, fruits, legumes, soy and whole grains. The other group followed a low-fat diet that included packaged foods like reduced-fat cheeses, lunch meat, frozen dinners, diet soda and fat-free cookies. Researchers described the latter as a more typical low-fat diet for U.S. consumers. After one month, the people who ate the plant-based diet saw bigger improvements in levels of LDL, the "bad" cholesterol, than the people who ate prepackaged dinners and snacks.

Inspiration Eating for Peace Eating for Peace is a non-profit organization that connects our food choices with an easy way to raise funds for children living in countries ravaged by war. At the same time, they educate people about the benefits of a vegetarian diet for protecting the environment, ending world hunger, and promoting human health. Throughout the month of June, Eating for Peace will hold a Veg-A-Thon for the children of war. A Veg-A-Thon is a fundraising event in which people give up meat and enlist sponsors to support them in doing so. Eating for Peace is asking meat-eaters to agree to give up meat for 21 days (according to many experts, the amount of time required to break a habit). Just like in a Walk-A-Thon, participants gather sponsors for support. Participating is easy. Just go to your friends, family, and neighbors and say, “I’m going to fight world hunger, improve my health, help protect the environment, and raise funds for innocent victims of war by giving up meat for three weeks. Will you sponsor me?” If ten people sponsor you at $1 a day, you’ll raise $210. This money will help save the lives of children in war-torn countries around the world.
