Excessive meat-eating 'kills 45,000 each year' - Health News, Health & Families - The Independent

More statistics on why a 5 a Day Day would make sense, save money, save the planet and save lives.

This time from Oxford University in The Independent

Excessive meat-eating 'kills 45,000 each year' - Health News, Health & Families - The Independent: "Oxford University's heart unit analysed the health consequences of a range of diets, concluding that eating meat no more than three times a week would prevent 31,000 deaths from heart disease, 9,000 deaths from cancer and 5,000 deaths from strokes each year, saving the NHS £1.2bn."

Whilst Croydon Council turns a blind eye, people are dying, kids are becoming chronically ill.
