Harvard Advocates a Plant Based Diet

Though Harvard School of Public Health has not taken the leap in advocating a plant based vegan diet, they have very clearly stated that a diet rich in vegetables, fruits and whole grains is the most beneficial to our health. They even acknowledge that milk is not the best source of calcium, and to limit our consumption of it. In place of pushing the consumption on milk, they are advocating drinking water to quench our thirst and hydrate throughout the day.

Harvard School of Public Health has released a "Healthy Eating Plate" which diagrams how much of the above foods should be consumed. This new nutritional guide is leaps and strides more accurate than the Food Pyramid many of us grew up with. Now we just need to get this information out to the nation at large, and people of to make an informed decision about every piece of food they put in their mouths.
