• “Cancer deaths slump!”
• “Millions taken off ‘fatty’ list.”
• “Diabetes figures fall for first time.”
• “Food poisoning cases tumble – records no longer worth maintaining.”

What diet could it possibly be? That’s easy! The same diet that children should be eating now so they enjoy good health throughout their lives – a well-balanced vegan or vegetarian diet.
