Fat is a food industry issue - vegan society response

[emzy1985]

I got this off the vegan society myspace. When I visited the bottom link and some of the background links on the site, I was very suprised at the positive attitudes of the writer and the comments...although of course there were the normal ****s on there sprouting rubbish. Let me know what you think!

If you scroll right down at:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/letters/st...192524,00.html

you'll see:

"Health secretary Alan Johnson calls on us all to find solutions to obesity. The same spirit is needed to face climate change. Vegans are already playing their part: animal-based foods are climate-hostile and fuel the obesity epidemic. We can tackle these crises in tandem by switching to plant-based diets."
