The WHO determines that some meats are just as big of a health risk as smoking cigarettes!

This article claiming that processed meats are just as detrimental to your health as smoking cigarettes by the World Health Organization (WHO) blows my mind, but does not surprise me. After watching documentaries like “Cowspiracy,” & learning about nutrition and detrimental health & environmental practices in school, it only seemed like a matter of time before conclusions were drawn and statements were made regarding the negative correlation between our health and the elevated level of processed meats in the modern diet. To have had this recognized by the WHO is a dramatic step in the right direction.

Keep in mind you do not have to become a perfect vegan to support this stance, but can encourage the movement by decreasing your processed meat intake, and by buying organic, whole, farm-raised, grain fed meats from local farmers. This will not only directly benefit our health, but will indirectly benefit all organisms by positively impacting the environment!
