The research is clear that a plant-based diet is the healthiest diet on earth. But what many people don't realise is that nothing else we do comes close to the environmental impact of what we eat.
Just as Michael Moseley does the research on key topics and synthesizes it into digestible chunks in a compelling package, Suzy Amis Cameron pulls together a vast number of sources, marshalling key facts to drive her OMD mission home. She explains how we can boost energy, feel better, live healthier and heal the earth, starting with just one meal a day. Developed at MUSE school in California, the school she founded with her sister Rebecca Amis, Suzy's program makes it possible for anyone and everyone to reverse climate change while they embrace a healthier lifestyle. This one simple step will begin to help readers lose weight and stay naturally thin, reverse chronic health concerns, improve overall health, enjoy newfound energy and slash their carbon footprint in half.
In OMD, Suzy shares her field-tested plan, outlining the latest science and research on whey a plant-based diet is better for one's health and the environment.
