In my book, Food For Thought – An Epigenetic Guide to Wellness I reference the Worldwide Issues Paper as stating that a minimum of $60,000,000,000 in annual medical costs in the United States is directly attributable to meat consumption. Compare that to $65,000,000,000 in annual medical costs directly attributable to smoking. We all see the risks of smoking but why can’t we see the risks of meat consumption?
