"Studies have shown that animal-based food diets show a strong association with incidence of cancer, heart disease and other illnesses.

Both quotes deal with the plant-based diet widely followed among individuals within Blue Zones. The quote from Vergara details the association between animal-based diets and increased rates of cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses, while the quote from Brouwer focuses on the stigma faced towards vegan/vegetarian lifestyle diets among many regions of the world. Which may be a factor towards preventing many from participating in plant-based diets.
