Essay: How To Eat More Plants

Important, Not Important

This week:

Today’s post is more of a macro introduction to the why and how of the “eat more plants (and consequently) fewer animals” lifestyle.

Deep-dives on how to eat fewer animals, by type, including meat/beef/pork, chicken/turkey, dairy, and fish (and humans! Can’t forget humans) will follow in subsequent posts.

My overall goal is to help you — someone who already gives a shit for one reason or another — understand why eating more plants and fewer animals is intersectional as hell.

Here's What You Can Do:

• Donate to Friends of the Earth to help transition our food system into one that is more sustainable, healthier, and more just.
• Volunteer with Kiss The Ground to help shift policies and resources towards regenerative agriculture.
• Get educated about more ways to eat more plants by subscribing to Vox’s Meat/Less newsletter.
• Be heard about passing a strong Farm Bill that provides critical funding so farmers can grow nutritious food via sustainable farming practices.
• Invest in sustainable farming with Farm VC.
