Almost half the monks in Thailand are overweight, so says http://www.bangkokpost.com/archive/almost-half-monkhood-overweight/897276 Monastics can EASILY eat and drink healthier by EDUCATING laypeople and themselves on how to OFFER and EAT only nutritious VEGAN foods respectively. Even monastics who cannot choose their foods can systematically educate laity on offering kinder foods for their welfare and that of more sentient beings. May all beings be well and happy.
