Have you all used www.movieflix.com (http://www.movieflix.com) and watched all the free health videos about a vegan/vegetarien diet?
I have learned that PCRM has been a persistent thorn in the side of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It has taken the USDA (http://www.usda.gov/) to court and successfully opened up the unlawfully concealed workings of the USDA's board selection process. Six of the 11 USDA board members have financial ties to the meat, dairy and egg industries, and PCRM maintains that these ties are more responsible for the preponderance of meat, dairy and egg products in the USDA's nutrition recommendations than sound nutritional science.
PCRM is also reaching out to incoming medical school students. Barnard has helped them abstain from or, in many cases, entirely do away with courses that require operation on a healthy animal that will subsequently be euthanized. More than half of all medical schools, including those at Harvard, Stanford, Columbia and Yale, have dropped live-animal labs altogether, thanks in part to Barnard's work. One resister, Colorado University, recently suffered through a homecoming football game in the baleful shadow of a circling plane towing a PCRM-sponsored banner that read "CU Medical School: Stop Killing Dogs!"
One learns so much about a fatty diet and how it contributes to cancers (even olive oil, alvacados, etc). I never thought about reducing all of my fat intake.... which greatly relieves menstrual cramps.
