Kaiser Permanente is a leader. I have never commented on a hospital system before but I constantly find KP behind initiatives I support. Kaiser Permanente, with some $50 billion in annual revenue, owns 37 hospitals and employs 17,000 doctors, all on salary. They have 9 million members!

So imagine my delight when I saw the headline; KP urging all their doctors to recommend a plant-based lifestyle. The tide is coming in and it is George Halvorson, current CEO and his successor, Bernard Tyson, leading the way.

Government health experts worldwide are finally catching up with the large body of scientific evidence demonstrating that a vegan diet is not only a viable option for people of any age, but that eating plant foods instead of animal-based foods can confer significant health benefits, including reduction in incidence of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart attack, stroke, and some types of cancer. - Read on at: http://freefromharm.org/health-nutrition/catching-up-with-science-burying-the-humans-need-meat-argument/#sthash.MCayQvXG.dpuf

The flesh of animals seems to be very hard to give up and there’re reasons why. According to Joel Fuhrman M.D. there are toxic metabolites in animal products that are therefore present in the people who eat them, and once the consumption of these animal products is dramatically lessened or eliminated, the presence of these toxic metabolites creates a hangover feeling.
