Meat-Free Living

01 Meat and livestock Autralia says that people need to eat lean meat three to four times a week if they are to get the right amount of protein and iron in their diet. Is this correct?

A balanced plant-based or vegetarian diet can provide adequate amounts of all the nutrients our bodies need, including iron, zinc, B12 and omega 3.

Diets high in plant food provide important vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals for better health, wellbeing and vitality. Switching to more plant protein foods in the diet may help control weight and protect against many common diseases like heart disease and cancer. Surely, promoting healthy eating is good for the health of the nation.

Our Vegie Delights products are a source of plant protein with most being cholesterol free and containing fibre, iron, vitamin B12, and mainly healthy monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats.

In addition, numerous studies show that people who eat predominantly plant based diets have better health statistics than people who have a diet high in animal foods and refined foods.
