Why Vegan? How a Vegan Diet Can Save Your Health and Money

Hesh Goldstein describes the numerous ethical, health, and environmental advantages of a vegan diet. He explains how the U.S. "Health Care Crisis," so hotly debated in Washington recently, is in actuality the result of the government's own USDA agricultural subsidies, which give financial aid only to the unhealthiest products of U.S. agriculture. When combined with the advertising tax deductions given by the IRS and exploited by the unhealthiest offerings of the U.S. food industry, we have an explanation for the blackout of real health news by the ad driven American media.

Hesh Goldstein has been hosting a radio show called "Health Talk" since 1981 when he used to run Down To Earth. He pays for his air time and has no sponsors, so his honesty is not compromised. It airs on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. on K108, 1080 on the AM dial. At 71 Hesh still plays two to three hours of basketball a week and teaches women's self defense classes - based on 20+ years of Wing Chun training. He has been a vegetarian since 1975 and a vegan since 1990. He has no illnesses and takes no medications. Hesh feels if he can do it anyone can.

@terrillcase Please tell me what vegans have to gain from propaganda???? To sell cookbooks and open grocery stores and restaurants? Unlikely.

The meat Industry however stands to gain many profits from it

My health is great eating meat. Bloodwork is always perfect. I also have the money to spend on what I like to eat so not worried about saving money plus meat is always on sale.

Hi hi! Have you ever tried intellectus 424 diet (search on google)? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cousin lost a ton of weight with it.

@celt130 Meat isn't bad for your health all the info out there saying it is well thats vegan propaganda trying to get there way and for us not to eat animals. Meat is perfectly healthy and doesn't cause diseases. My whole family on down the family tree are meat eaters and never a single meat related illness and they live old. Don't believe all the vegan biased researches and propaganda.
