What's the relationship between diet and diabetes or cancer? does a meat-based diet have anything to do with it? will switching to a plant-based diet reverse chronic illnesses such as cancer/diabetes? is the meat industry killing us?

Not black &amp; white: Plant based diet is generally healthier, but modest amounts of meat are not harmful. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
