Lawmakers on Monday urged the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to implement a program that would promote vegetable farming and consumption, and provide incentives to farmers.
When asked if there is a necessity to file a bill promoting or incentivizing plant-based diet, Suansing said, “In my opinion, there is no need. EMB/DENR can come up with a program and provide funds to LGU. Come up with incentives. Ang tagal kapag idaan pa sa bill .” “I’m a firm believer in a diet that is rich in vegetables and fruits with minimum animal protein. In my district I have patients in their early 20s who already have different types of cancer and their common denominator is a diet that is poor in vegetables and fruits but high in meat, especially processed meats. This is why I promote vegetable farming and consumption. It is the secret to a longer life. Gaganda pa skin mo at magmumukhang bata !,” she said.
