Description: No one can live without food, but what you eat is a personal decision. In the twenty-first century, many people are choosing to eat more vegetables and fruits and less meat. But is all meat bad for you? What does the science say? And what about sugar and trans fats, which are linked to diabetes and heart disease?   People also make food choices for ethical and religious reasons. Some vegetarians and vegans avoid meat because they believe killing animals is wrong. Other people shun meat from factory farms. Recently, more people are seeking out foods grown locally and organically.  What do you choose to eat and why? This book will help you make decisions to support your values.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 90-93) and index.
