Welcome to Plants Over Animals... where choosing to eat plants rather than animals is casting a vote for human health, animal compassion, & planet Earth. I'm Dr. Brooke Bussard. My mission is to improve the lives of people, animals and the planet by choosing foods that support health, compassion, and sustainability. Please reach out if you'd like to connect.

eating more plants and fewer animals (and their secretions) is clearly better for human health; H = P/A (more plants, fewer animals = better health)

there are a plethora of amazing plant-based cookbook authors; here is a starter list of books to try; the library is a great way to try it before you buy it
if you are looking for info about nutrition, animal rights, or environmental sustainability, these are some places to get started....
keeping it simple....here are some ideas along with links to other sites with sample menus...

listening to experts while driving, walking, waiting, and more, these are moments when we can enhance our knowledge. The Exam Room Podcast with Chuck Carroll is a great place to start!
check them out from the library, download on your e-reader, or listen to the audiobook version. Dig in, the shelves are overflowing with great books on plant-based nutrition. Check out Chew On This, my book, as a springboard!
Starting as a young athlete, then pursuing a career in medicine, and finally spending the majority of my adult life as a personal trainer (and mom of 2 boys and wife of a very active husband), I have been fascinated with the human body and on a quest to maximize health and optimize life. Little did I know 25 years ago that I would plow through a snowstorm of conflicting and confusing information on my path to the tranquil oasis provided by a life of whole food plant-based eating. The topic of food and nutrition is broad enough, and when you add compassion and the environment to the mix, it can be overwhelming. So, I hope that by providing small bits of information, you will be able to explore whatever aspects of a plant-based lifestyle interest you. It will be a journey, if you decide to take it. And, for all of you that like to try new recipes, there is a link to some of the favorites served in my house. I hope you enjoy! Brooke
