Whole food plant-based (WFPB) food, with its densely packed nutrients and fibre, and lack of cholesterol, is extremely healthy. Adopting a WFPB diet improves health, and even allows people to wean themselves off prescription medications. Medical research indicates that lifelong vegetarians and vegans visit hospitals 22% less often than meat-eaters. Furthermore, once admitted, human herbivores spend a shorter time at the hospital than their meat-eating counterparts.
