Earlier this year scientists celebrated one of the biggest discoveries in physics within the last century.
They were elated to discover the first evidence of gravitational waves, which pretty much proved Albert Einstein’s last prediction in his theory of relativity was correct. Going down in history as one of the brightest minds to ever have lived and decades later having your work reaffirmed may just be the beginning of his brilliance, however.
There is another prediction Einstein made during his life—one whose evidence mounts more and more each day: “Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.” There has yet to be another movement that significantly addresses—and even reverses—as many of the major health and environmental concerns out there as the vegan movement.

There are tiny awakenings blossoming into bigger and more impactful movements in the health and medical fields, as well. This year the first plant-based medical center opened up in Washington, D.C. and other medical programs are offering residents training to help patients treat chronic health conditions with plant-based eating.
As much as it pained bacon-loving Americans to hear it, processed meat was rightfully demonized as contributing to rising cancer rates by the World Health Organization this year—adding to the knowledge we already have about its relation to heart disease, irritable bowel syndrome and other chronic conditions. And just this month the American Osteopathic Association released a study of 1.5 million people revealing how meat-eating raises mortality rates across the board.
