US Health Experts Call on Hospitals to Serve Vegan Food
Dear friends,
I am extremely happy to know that plant-based diets are being promoted in hospitals and medical institutions for their health benefits. Such places are the foundation for patients to get healed, therefore it’s important that they also heal through the food they serve.
I hope that other hospitals and medical centres will follow in their footsteps. By not eating animal flesh we will benefit our bodies and our planet long term. We do not need to eat the flesh of another being to be healthy or strong. That is very old school thinking. We should do our best to not harm, torture, damage or kill any animals. Be kind to everyone and everything. In this way our planet will become a place of peace.

American Medical Association Tells Hospitals to GO VEGAN BAN MEAT & DAIRY!
This is HUGE! Looks like meat eaters have been WRONG ALL ALONG!
Published: 29 Jun 2017 @ thatveganrecipe.com
We don’t know where to start, THIS IS HUGE!
During the annual AMA conference held in Chicago, it was announced that based on scientific study, all hospitals and medical institutions should not only start to offer plant based foods in every facility but should also REMOVE ALL MEAT, DAIRY and EGGS from their menus.
The conference is held every year by the American Medical association and is attended by world leading physicians who are responsible for developing our understanding of human health.
Neal Barnard, M.D. (president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine) quoting from the conference said:
“Plant based foods should be offered to every patient in the hospital. Bacon, sausage, eggs, ham and other processed meats should be removed.”
The good news doesn’t stop there!
Several doctors at the conference also confirmed, “This is exactly what we need” referring to plant based diets based on information provided by the World Health Organisation that state animal based products cause Colorectal (CRC) cancer and contribute to other heart related issues.
So, what more proof do we need after years of trying to convince people that an animal based diet is WRONG!

Here is the link to the AMA press release stating they have passed ‘Resolution 406: Healthful Hospital Foods’ which states:
“RESOLVED, That our American Medical Association hereby call on US hospitals to improve the health of patients, staff, and visitors by (1) providing and promoting plant-based meals that are low in fat, sodium, and added sugars for hospital patients, staff, and visitors, and (2) eliminating the use of processed meats from patient menus. (Directive to Take Action)”

This is really a great news. Even hospital is serving vegan food which directly telling that being vegan is healthy and it’s a great encouragement for many people to stop eating meat. People will see that the hospital is turning to vegan and this give more people confident and assurance of becoming vegan is good for health.
The hospital involvement really meant a lot to tell people that we can live healthy without eating meat and it’s sort of recognized by the health industry. Hope to see more and more hospital around the world adopt this action to encourage more people to cut eating meat.
Animals show love for humans! Cow, lions, apes, dogs, bears, parrots and more can all be very affectionate and show surprising emotions when it comes to expressing their love for people. An emotional animals hugging humans video.

This is such a good news! I started to take on a vegetarian diet about 6 years ago. It was mainly due to health reason. My doctor advised me not to consume too much meat, especially red meat.
Unlike some people, I did not immediately give up eating meat, I started with having meatless meals once a week. It was actually not difficult. Later, I extended it to 3 days a week. In about 2 months, I opted for a fully vegetarian diet.
People often think we won’t get enough nutrients our body needs when we become vegetarian. This is actually not true, we can still get protein from tofu and iron from some nuts and grains. Vegetarians are just as healthy as meat-eaters but vegetarians have a lower risk of getting heart diseases and cancer.

Enjoy!
H.E. the 25th Tsem Rinpoche loves animals and is passionate against their harm, torture, and abuse.
The few minutes a day we spend on social media creating awareness for animals who cannot speak is purely spiritual and humanistic practice because we are trying to alleviate pain from another sentient beings and that makes us more spiritual, and that makes us more spiritual and more humane.
This is really a great news. To be healed physically and mentally, first we need to eat and live in healthy way. Many research and studies have proved that plant-based food is more suitable for human body, and meat based diet is actually the culprit of more and more health problems.
It’s quite unbelievable that hospital as a place to heal people nowadays serves not only meat based food, but processed food like sausages, bacon, ham; and deep fried food. To have plant-based diet is the way to go.
A great first step by the AMA and WHO, amazing let more people know the benefits of Vegan and Vegetarian food.
The statement from American Medical Association regarding vegan foods to be served in hospitals is a good news and this will create awareness to society to change their meat diet to plant based diet.
It is not logic to eat animal flesh to fulfill our daily diet needs. We should change to plant based diet in order to save animals and save our environment to reduce global warming issue.
I wish Malaysia hospitals will follow the USA steps to be vegan food served.
Thanks Rinpoche.

I am really happy to hear this. Not only is this good news for animals but it is also good news for the patients in the hospital.
It has been proven in many scientific researches that meat causes cancer, this is mainly due to chemicals and hormones which are fed to the animals while they were alive.
Some people think that becoming a vegan is a bad idea since a lot of nutrients are found only in meats, that isn’t true as vegetables such as kale has been proven to contain more iron per gram as compared to meat.
I really hope that all hospitals around the world will follow the American trend to serve vegan food.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this post _/\_
This is a very good suggestion to promote vegan diet for patients to live healthier. Thsnk you very much Rinpoche and blog team for sharing this information and create more awareness to live on a healthier diet._/\_
This is really huge. There’s no need to debate which diet is healthier anymore. Science and studies have shown people who live longer and healthier are usually on plant-based diet. Eating corpse of animals not only does not benefit our body, it also caused different level of harm to the eco system on planet earth. Raising animals for food requires massive amounts of land, food, energy, and water. On a spiritual level, Animal agriculture only does harm and the karma of kiling is massive. This piece of news is really refreshing and gives hope to many. May the world evolve to the direction of conscious-living.
Nurses said “You are in the hospital, let’s make it vegan today. We are going to learn some new taste, and this could really help you along with!”
I am so happy to hear the above statement shared in the video. The world is changing for the better. Hospital is the place for healing and now it really works towards healing by providing plant-based food that can help in recovery.
Karmically wise, without harming animals or lives, will also create the causes for long life and healthy body.
Hope the hospitals in Malaysia will follow this trend in USA and serve vegan food to the patients!
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this great news!
A great many thanks for the sharing, Rinpoche. Along the same line with your thought, AMA (American Medical Association,) through Neal Bernard, M.D., President of The Physicians Committee, tell all ” U.S. Hospitals to go Vegan, ban meat and diary. Plant based food should be offered to every patient in the Hospital. Bacon, sausage, eggs, ham and other processed meats should be removed.” But, the good news doesn’t stop there! Several doctors at the conference had also confirmed, “This is exactly what we need,” referring to plant based diets based on information provided by the World Health Organisation that state animal based products caused colectoral (CRC) cancer and contribute to other heart related issues. This conference is said to be held every year by the AMA and is attended by World leading physicians who are responsible for the developing of every human being’s understanding of human health. So what more proof do we need to convince people further that an animal based diet is “Wrong!” As our great Ghandi has said, “The greatness of a Nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Om Mani Padme Hung.
When I hear doctors telling their sick, dying patient they can take whatever food and meat they want, I always thought these doctors really are narrow-minded. It is not that they are not intelligent, but it is that they choose to ignore the truth no matter what facts are presented and no matter what has been studied and has proven. I suppose they were paid to talk that way so as to not upset the “rich” patients. So that they will not lose their patients? Whatever it is, we know that consuming meat today is toxic. If it was like 100 years ago and your meat was not injected with all kinds of chemicals, and well they did not have to die such a horrible death… then maybe it is ok? I would not know because there is still bacteria growth in meat.
So this is definite a great rejoicing, refreshing news to read especially coming from an association of so-called “health experts” from the USA. Let’s hope it is being implemented in all hospitals at least. Start from there. And if the patients don’t like it, then they can choose to live at home and hire a nurse? You are already dying, so if the doctors say you cannot eat meat, you dare still test your body/luck/karma? You must be insane if you did that.
It’s very encouraging news to know the American Medical Association (AMA) House of Delegates issued a new policy statement encouraging hospitals to start serving meals that are plant based foods for patients.
It doesn’t make sense for hospitals to serve patients foods full of saturated fat and cholesterol when patients are checking themselves in to seek treatment for diseases that are caused, in part, by poor dietary choices in the first place.
The new announcement puts the AMA in line with the World Health Organization (WHO), which had previously confirmed what the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) and others have said for a long time: that eating bacon, hot dogs, ham, and other processed meats causes cancer. The WHO findings put processed meats in the same category of cancer risk as cigarettes and asbestos and also noted that red meat including beef, pork, veal, and lamb is likely carcinogenic. Studies have also shown that those who adhere to a vegan diet have a lower body mass index than their meat-eating counterparts.
This is so wonderful and hope to see more hospitals around the world taking the same move to take care the diet of their patients.
Great news! Hospitals should promote and provide plant based nutritional food to help patients to heal faster.
Very encouraging that US hospitals even go further to provide vegan plant Base food. All hospitals around the world should follow this step.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this uplifting post.
“The World is changing.”
This is great to hear that AMA a Big Step to call on US hospitals to provide and promoting plant-based meals to their patients, staff and visitors and stop to serve the processed meats/animal based products to the patients that might cause cancers or other heart related issues.
This wise decision is to help people to have healthy foods diet and vegetarian eating. In addition, by having this resolution, it may help to reduce the sentient animals being killed for food and promoting people living in peace and harmony with nature.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this great news.
This is a great move and stance made by the WHO and American Medical Associations. We do not need animal based food for our diet and thinking that it provides the nutrients we need to sustain our life. It bring no good result if we harm other living beings. I hope more hospitals will support this move and encourage patients to eat plant based diet.
This is great. I have always liked the fact the Adventist Hospital in Penang serves vegetarian food in their hospital. Religiously speaking, it offends nobody. No animal lives taken to offend anybody.
Health wise, patients already have delicate constitutions, so this diet will not tax their system. Here the US health experts are calling for vegan diets in hospital and that they have made a public statement about, calling for plant based healthy food for patients. Very interesting and progressive move.
Spiritually speaking, it harms no animals, have no negative energy or karma for the patient to bear further.
All in, a very up-lifting piece of news.
wonderful news…..the American Medical Association (AMA) just passed a resolution that calls on hospitals to serve plant-based meals. It’s time to drop cancerous foods from hospital menus and to serve vegan foods instead.US hospitals is taking the lead to improve the health of patients after proven that processed meat and meats cause more harm.The quantity of animal-based foods consumed will cause heart disease, cancer, and diabetes—as well as obesity and erectile dysfunction.
Serving vegan or vegetarian in hospital is the right choice. It would be wonderful if the hospital here in Malaysia can follow AMA at least meatless and more health conscious for the sake of patients.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing these wonderful news.
Yes we need to reduce more on meat or totally no meat. The article mention that the hospital will provide the patient on healthy vegan food is a good suggestion as meat especially for elderly people in my humble opinion hard for them to digest, thus causes many problem. Thanks for the wonderful information.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this article. Hospitals should promote and provide healthy vegan or at least vegetarian food for their patients because the sick patients should not eat anymore meat based food that can further trigger other sickness to them. Most of the research shows that meat is the main cause for cancers. I wonder when will this Act be implemented in Malaysia hospitals and health centres. Eating healthy, the sickness can cure faster too.

An extremely good news! Having the American Medical Association endorsing plant-based diet effectively is saying the meat and the other element found in processed food like sodium, sugar and saturated fat are lethal. The passing of this resolution is a positive reinforcement of what we already know, i..e the plant-based diet is more than sufficient to provide for our body needs without having any negative effect. And people can heal properly just on plant-based diet. Thank you, Rinpoche, for this sharing.
