ANIMAL ALLIES POSITION PAPER ON ANIMAL-BASED DIET CONSUMPTION: FOR A HEALTHIER SINGAPORE!

�Our government has taken many crucial steps in promoting a healthy diet in Singapore, while preserving the country�s rich food culture. However, the high consumption of animal-based foods such as meat, milk and eggs will pose challenges in ensuring a healthy, happy and productive population.

Scientific evidence indicates that compared to plant-based diets, diets high in animal-based foods are associated with a higher risk of chronic illnesses, including heart diseases, obesity, diabetes and certain types of cancer. If the issue of consuming of animal-based foods in excess remains unresolved, Singapore will continue to see high rates of disease incidence, mortality and healthcare expenditure.

This position paper describes and explains the current situation and problems, the root causes, and finally our recommendations. We urge Singapore�s government to consider the recommendations set forth, develop a detailed roadmap, and take bold actions to encourage Singaporeans to adopt healthier dietary habits by reducing their intake of animal-based foods.�
