Rejected petition Make a plant based diet a recommended alternative for managing health issues.

When patients with self manageable conditions such as type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol visit health professionals with intent on reducing their health problems, a plant based diet should be recommended as part of a plan to become healthier. This in turn may save more lives and cut spending.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

It's up to doctors to decide what actions to recommend to their patients in individual cases, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition calling on the Government to promote the benefits of a plant-based diet, if that's what you'd like to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
