Hi Ava,
I think your infographic is amazing. I am a person who tries to keep their diet to only plant-based products, and I really enjoyed you taking the time to talk about the benefits and risks of it. I also really liked your SO WHAT? section. AMAZING JOB
Hi, Ava! The all-caps in your title really grabbed my attention. I must say, I have been neglecting my vegetable intake for a while now, but after reading your article I will definitely make sure to GO GREEN! You broke down everything in a really simple way and I was able to understand all the information. Really good job on your infographic, Ava!
Hello, I really love your piece, I’m a vegan so my food is plant based. I especially like how you note the health benefits regarding areas such as heart diseases. Although my article is mainly focused on international relations, Vietnam is a hotbed for plant based diets and veganism. Which connects to its historical, cultural, and religious diversity. Especially that last one which includes Buddhism and Hinduism which have vegetarian communities.
Your title was so engaging that I felt that I wanted to know about content before reading. Your infographic was very clear, and I could deeply understand what a plant-based diet is. I found it valuable that you explained both benefits and risks of plant-based diet. My article focused on development in India, and I think it is important to focus on not only benefits but also risks of policies aiming at development.
