Nā Kumu no ka Papaʻai Lāʻau - Rationale for Plant-Based Eating


  1. Health - Reduce lifestyle diseases and foodborne illness.
  2. Environment - Reduce environmental degradation and the carbon footprint of humanity.
  3. Animals​ - Reduce suffering of sentient beings and expand our compassion footprint.
  4. Hunger - Reduce starvation by breeding less animals for food, so grains can be fed directly to people instead of livestock.
  5. Antibiotics - Reduce emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria developed by factory farming.
  6. Pandemics - Reduce emergence of zoonotic diseases from wet markets, ​factory farms, and land deforested for livestock.
  7. Economics - Reduce government subsidies to animal agriculture for artificially lower prices of meat, eggs, and dairy.
  8. Cost - Reduce spending on food since produce and other plant-based whole foods are cheaper than animal-based foods.
  9. Taste - Maximize flavor since plant-based food science has caught up to the texture and flavor of animal-based foods.

No nā Kumu Olakino - For Health Reasons

  1. Personal Health - Prevent, treat, and reverse chronic lifestyle diseases and foodborne illness
  2. Public Health - Prevent zoonotic pandemics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria produced by factory farming
  3. Mental Health - Prevent mental health problems caused by lockdowns resulting from zoonotic pandemics
  4. Economic Health - Prevent economic devastation caused by lockdowns resulting from zoonotic pandemics
  5. Population Health - Prevent hunger caused by feeding the majority of agricultural grains to livestock instead of humans
  6. Environmental Health - Prevent environmental damage and climate change driven by human demand for animal protein
  7. Animal Health - Prevent harm to farm animals and wild animals driven by human demand for animal protein
​In short: eat well, move more, stress less, love more. That’s it. Boom!
-- Dean Ornish, MD
For a diet to be considered healthful, at least 90 percent of its calories should come from vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, seeds, and intact whole grains.
-- Joel Fuhrman, MD
The ideal human diet looks like this: Consume plant-based foods in forms as close to their natural state as possible ("whole" foods). Eat a variety of vegetables, fruits, raw nuts and seeds, beans and legumes, and whole grains. Avoid heavily processed foods and animal products. Stay away from added salt, oil, and sugar. Aim to get 80 percent of your calories from carbohydrates, 10 percent from fat, and 10 percent from protein.
-- T. Colin Campbell, PhD
Any natural diet, as long as it contains a sufficient amount of calories, will always— I repeat, always— fulfill your body’s need for protein.
-- John McDougall, MD
Yes, there is calcium in cheese, protein in pork, and iron in beef, but what about all the baggage that comes along with these nutrients—the dose of dairy hormones, the lard, the saturated fat?
Every time you put something in your mouth, it’s a lost opportunity to put something even healthier in there.
-- Michael Greger, MD, FACLM
NutritionFacts.org may be the best nutrition science website on the planet.
