Health Benefits Of Whole Foods Plant Based Nutrition 

There is a difference between doing " vegan whole foods plant based nutrition" way of life and being a vegan. It's similar but different. Those teaching classes in whole foods plant based nutrition vegan foods say isolated soy protein is vegan but it's a fragment not a whole soy food. Whole or the least processed soy foods examples are edamame, tempeh are two examples of whole soy foods. 

With whole foods plant based nutrition the focus or goal is whole foods also known as foods in their whole form or as close to their whole form as possible, non processed. With being vegan the goal is to eat all foods that don't contain meat, and vegan processed foods are accepted,  like oils which are very processed, it's not a whole food. Where as those into whole foods plant based nutrition try to avoid all oils because oil is a processed refined product.

The  success suggestion from experts is: with whole foods plant based nutrition it's not all or nothing. For long term success you want to pick foods wisely, you might divide things up so that 70 percent of your food is whole foods plant based and 20 percent might be some minimally processed foods like oil free whole grain breads, crisp, nuts and avocados, and 5 percent might be plant based more processed like some unsweetened plant milks, refined grains, no oil sauces and dressings and 3 percent might be some plant based junk food and 2 percent might be some standard junk food or meats, of course it won't include any animal products if you're already not eating that. And for folks who are not into a full switch to whole foods plant based nutrition there's some documentaries about folks in the blue zones, that shows people who's dietary intake is 5 percent or less of animal protein and the rest is whole foods plant based nutrition are having good health benefits from a way of eating they've been doing for centuries. 

The whole foods plant based nutrition advisers, professors, nurse, doctors and  teachers that I've taken classes from don't recommend animal products but they do encourage realistic approaches to making  changes to one's food intake to plant based nutrition for those folks attempting to do that. It's about meeting people where they are and achieving success in their goal to be fully  into whole foods plant based in food choices.

"Sixty three percent of the U.S. government food subsidies go directly or indirectly to subsidize the meat and dairy industries.

Less than 1 percent goes to fruit and vegetable cultivation. Less than 2 percent goes to nut and legume cultivation."

"America needs to reallocate its food subsides. Now that America is struggling to provide health care for its disadvantaged populations, it is time to focus on the cause of health problems. Poor diet causes problems such as hypertension, heart disease and, most alarmingly, the high rate of obesity and type two diabetes that is increasingly affecting our youth. The better our diet, the healthier we are and the less we will desperately need that health care. Shifting our food subsidies will help ourselves and the environment, and help to safeguard the health and future of the next generation of Americans."
