When I first learned about the power of plant-based eating in 2003, I knew immediately that we needed a better way to describe the optimal diet for humans. The "v" words (vegan and vegetarian
)
just weren't getting it done for me--for lots of reasons; read on...
So, I created the 4Leaf dietary scale to provide people everywhere with a simple tool, designed to help them maximize the percentage of their calories from whole plants.
Setting the top bar at 80%, we defined the 4Leaf level of eating as: deriving over 80% of your daily calories from whole plants. For more details, check out the links below.
In these links, I explain how it all got started and where we're headed in the future.
What about the future? With over 200,000 uses of our survey since its inception, coupled with numerous endorsements by some highly reputable organizations, we are now comfortable in describing the 4Leaf Survey thusly:
The most popular tool in the world for estimating an individual's healthy eating score in under two minutes
That said, we see a bright future for the 4Leaf Survey and a healthier future for those who leverage its power.
Finally, this just in: The first ever Plant-Based World Conference and Expo in New York. Scheduled for June 7-8 of 2019. Check it out; many details to follow.
Be well, Jim

Looking for Opportunities to Speak.
Since 2016, my research, writing and speaking has been focused on the sustainability of our ecosystem and our future as a species. With a primary emphasis on food choices, I call it the "most important topic in the history of humanity."
After all, what could possibly be more important to humans than the survival of our species?
Later this year, my co-author, Dr. Kerry Graff, and I may be speaking at a Chinese Nutrition Association event in Nanjing, China. For more info, Visit our speaking page.
