MYTH VS.REALITY

MYTH: We need to eat meat to get enough protein.
REALITY: The typical modern diet contains many times more protein than is actually necessary for good health. If you eat a variety of fruits, vegetable, whole grains and legumes, you will get enough protein.

MYTH: Vegetarians are liberals.
REALITY: You’ll find people eating healthy, delicious plant-based meals all across the political spectrum.

MYTH: Vegetarians are sickly and weak.
REALITY: Try telling that to Ruth Heidrich, 3-time Ironman finisher and marathoner; Carl Lewis, winner of nine Olympic gold medals; David Scott, Ironman triathlete; Edwin Moses, Olympic gold medal winner in the hurdles; or World Champion body builder Piero Venturato.

MYTH: Genetics play a much greater role in who will develop cancer than eating meat does.
REALITY: Five to ten percent of all cancers are caused by inherited genetic mutations. By contrast, 70 to 80 percent have been linked to diet and other behavioral factors.

MYTH: It’s too much work! Vegetarians have to carefully plan every meal to make sure all the necessary nutrients are present.
REALITY: A healthy vegetarian diet takes only about as much planning as any other diet.
