"Esselstyn said he's working now on a documentary to be released at the beginning of next year, called 'Game-changers.' Could be an apt term for Rip himself, no? But he demurred: "If you want to be a true hero, for your health, for the planet, for animals, you'll start eating a plant-based diet - that's what I tell everyone I talk to."

Vegan science getting stronger, and so are vegan eaters Calling animal-free food "plant-based" is simple and factual, but a bit bland, echoing the outmoded stereotype of vegan food as such. Instead, Rip Esselstyn, who was in Philly this week, works to spread the "plant-strong" message.

"No matter what color you wear today or what message you send to the world, your health will follow your diet. It's not what you say or wear that will prevent chronic illnesses like cardiovascular disease, but rather what you eat.

Wear red for but consider eating green (and red, orange, yellow, blue, purple, white, and all colored whole plants) for heart health.

Cardiovascular disease remains the world's number one killer. In the United States alone, someone has a heart attack every 42 seconds and each minute, someone in the United States dies from a heart disease-related event (!).

A plant-based diet - centered around fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds - is not only effective at reducing incidence of and improving the leading risk factors for cardiovascular disease (high blood pressure and high cholesterol), but it is the only diet ever shown to actually reverse heart disease.

The most important choice you can make is not what to wear, but what you put at the end of your fork.
