I can't help myself: "Fewer veggies" not "less veggies."
That should read - "People with a poor diet have increased rate of heart disease". Which is already known. Anyone who isn't conscious of what they consume is probably missing key nutrients. Vegans can absolutely get essential fats and B vitamins from food.
The Mexico freeze is on top of all the bad weather here--corn, wheat, cotton (i.e., clothes) are all going up. If you have a yard or a community garden nearby, now is a great time to plan a garden.
Vegans need to make sure they get enough b12 and omega 3.... Aka what we already knew.
