According to an announcement on Instagram, Hayek Hospital in Beirut, Lebanon became the first hospital in the world to serve only vegan food to patients on March 1.
“'When adopting a plant-based diet has been scientifically proven not only to stop the evolution of certain diseases but it can also reverse them,' the hospital posted. 'We then have the moral responsibility to act upon and align our beliefs with our actions. Taking the courage to look at the elephant in the eye.'"
