Abstract

It appears that a disconnect between food and disease mitigation has occurred with development. In contrast, the chapter examines the link between food and non-communicable diseases, then the threats caused to human health by zoonotic viruses and infections, and finally the prospects of losing the power of antibiotics to improve human conditions. A major contributing factor to these health-related conditions and threats is the excessive consumption of meat and other animal-based products. Replacing them with plant-rich food options can have numerous benefits.
