CSUSB professor interviewed about benefits of a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle
WalletHub
Terezie Tolar-Peterson (chair, health science and human ecology) was featured in WalletHub's recent article, “Best Cities for Vegans & Vegetarians.” In a Q-and-A interview, she shared tips on people who want to switch to a vegetarian/vegan diet and what common mistakes to avoid and how parents can encourage children to eat more veggies among others.
And making the switch to a vegetarian/vegan diet won’t break the home food budget. “A vegetarian or vegan lifestyle is an excellent approach to improving one’s health and can be much more affordable than a regular diet,” Tolar-Peterson said. “Vegetables, beans, rice, and potatoes are all very inexpensive options. Frozen vegetables are also cheap and will not perish. The most important recommendation is to have plant-based staples at home and learn some easy dishes that can be rotated.”
