Nature's choice: A vegetarian diet prevents disease and keeps you trim

A very pro-veg article in the midwestern outlet Northwest Indiana News:

Here in the Midwest, the average consumption of beef is highest in the nation at 73 pounds a year. So, should we be surprised that Chicago was named fattest city in the nation earlier this year by Men's Fitness Magazine?

One way to go if you're looking to thin down is to become a vegetarian. Removing saturated fats from your diet and replacing them with antioxidants and fiber provided by fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains can lead to a healthy lifestyle that may result not only in weight loss, but prevent many diseases, from diabetes to stroke to cancer.

It goes on quite a bit, giving midwesterners a clearer sense of how practical vegetarianism is as a lifestyle choice. Might be good to thank the editor for including the article.
