I shared this podcast today here in Malawi and edited the phrase a bit as most people in Malawi don’t eat a lot of animal products, and many people eat none – not because they don’t want to, but because they don’t have it. It doesn’t make the diet ‘healthy’ as the balance is still way off – way too much starch and too little of everything else. Here is what I shared:
——
This is one of the podcasts I listed to today while working out – this one could be very useful to you. I like her approach to plant-based diets – she is from the USA and says “less and better animal foods” – but for Malawi and most of the world I’d say “balanced and better animal foods” as we don’t eat as many animal products as other nations do.
What is Balanced?
– I’ll attach a 1-page flyer on the balance of the food groups – each of us are different, and we eat differently every day – this is an approximate guide.
What is Better?
– Animals are produced and processed in a high quality manner that cares for the animal, the people raising the animals, and our natural environment.
– That uses our resources fairly and efficiently and doesn’t waste or poison.
– That provides high quality milk, meat, eggs, and other products.
Enjoy the podcast!
