It seems that going to a Whole Foods, Plant-Based (WFPB) Diet is all the rage!

So what does that mean? For some like myself, it means going vegan. For others, it may be practicing a vegetarian, pegan or pescatarian diet. Others may choose to reduce consumption of animal products. (i.e. Meatless Mondays, Tofu Tuesdays, etc.)

What are the top reasons to eat more fruits and vegetables and less animal products?
– for the animals
– for the environment
– for your health

Whatever your reason or just because you are curious, there are many resources, including programming, at Westlake Porter Public Library to support and/or explain the benefits of going to a Whole Foods, Plant-Based Diet.
