People need to acknowledge that living in the Mediterranean has at least two advantages over living in the U.S. - Universal Healthcare, and clean food/air/water and soil. They don't have as many chemicals and toxins in their food.

You’ll hardly find avocados in Italy. Also, Europeans do eat meat, but not in large quantities like in North America

I'm from Spain and we actually eat more meat than them but there's a difference between their meat and ours. It's either the way we feed the cows, the things that are banned and all that. We also drink more alcohol than the US but we have significantly less alcohol addiction. Maybe because we drink socially. We also walk a lot and all of that. I think Italy can relate to us in many of those things.

How much of the Mediterranean Diet is living in a place with no winter ice and plenty of year round sun?

Yes warm weather always healthier.

@@Bachconcertos great point. When people are sitting on their asses cuz its 10 degrees out with no sun, this attributes to poor health. Socializing, fresh air, sun and the sounds of nature are huge to your health

Just please be careful as most salmon on the market is farmed and the farmed ones are not healthy. Most are raised with chemicals and antibiotics and affect the surrounding environment.

Nope, a Mediterranean diet is easier to get all nutrients. Of course , you also need to engage in a healthy life style ( exercising , socializing and prioritizing good sleep habits). Veganism is a way of life for those who think it is better for animals and the planet. Not much argument there. It’s just too extreme for most people to follow especially because it needs to be WFPB to actually be healthy, not full of processed vegan foods and simple carbs.
