Why do African American need plant-based diet?

African-Americans can greatly benefit from pursuing a plant-based diet, or “Black vegan food,” as a means of reclaiming their health, heritage, and environment. Historically, traditional African diets were predominantly plant-based, rich in whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables. However, systemic inequalities and limited access to healthy food have contributed to higher rates of chronic illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension within the African-American community. Adopting a plant-based diet not only offers a path to better health outcomes, but it also honors the cultural legacy of nutrient-rich, plant-centered meals that sustained generations before the influence of processed and animal-based foods. Moreover, by choosing a vegan lifestyle, African-Americans can take a stand for environmental justice, as plant-based eating reduces the ecological footprint and addresses the impact of industrial farming, which disproportionately affects communities of color. Black veganism is not just a diet—it’s a movement that combines wellness, cultural empowerment, and social justice, contributing to a healthier and more sustainable future.

The graph displays the vertical profile of dissolved oxygen levels from water collected from Smith Point at various depths. At the surface, at a depth of 0 meters, the mean average dissolved oxygen level was 10.4 mg/L, with a standard deviation of 0.7 mg/L. At the midwater depth of 10 meters, the mean average dissolved oxygen level was 10.3 mg/L, with a standard deviation of 0.8 mg/L. At the bottom depth of 20 meters, the mean average dissolved oxygen level was 0.5 mg/L with a standard deviation of 0.3 mg/L. The graph shows these means and their respective standard deviations as three separate points, connected by a curved trendline. The x-axis represents depth in meters to the one’s place, ranging from 0 to 25 meters, with tics and numbers to indicate every 5-meter increase. The y-axis shows dissolved oxygen in mg/L to the tenth’s place, ranging from 0.0 to 12.0 mg/L, with tics and numbers to indicate every 2.0-mg/L increase. The trendline shows a slight increase in dissolved oxygen levels from 0 to approximately 7.5 meters, at which point it begins to decrease. A more rapid decrease commences at 10 meters until the trendline ends at 20 meters.

Little Lake City Schools are seeking $908,000.00 from the Little Lake City School District to fund the Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS), designed to reduce posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety among children with symptoms of PTSD. California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) reveals that nearly 36% of California students have reported yes when being asked about chronic sadness, 16% when asked about suicide, and 31% when asked about experiencing social/emotional distress. This program aims to teach students 11 to 14 cognative behavioral techniques to help combate negative thoughts, reducing avoidance, developing a trauma narrative, building social problem solving skills, and relaxation.

Rising sea levels caused by the melting of icecaps and thermal expansion represents one of the most grave issues we face today. Coastal regions are at risk with nations like Tuvalu experiencing annual land loss due to the ocean level rising. One child on the island describes “I feel like a homeless kid hunting for a place to shelter”(Channel 4 News). Although not as extreme, the United States is facing the same issue since 40% of its population lies in coastal areas. It is critical that we analyze the harms we face like the billions of dollars in infrastructure we would need to combat flooding to ensure we reach the future in the most effective way possible.
