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 (https://foe.org/issues/food-and-technology/?utm_source=importantnotimportant.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=how-to-eat-more-plants) to help transition our food system into one that is more sustainable, healthier, and more just.
• Volunteer with Kiss The Ground (https://kisstheground.com/advocacy/?utm_source=importantnotimportant.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=how-to-eat-more-plants) 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 (https://www.vox.com/pages/meat-less-newsletter-course?utm_source=importantnotimportant.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=how-to-eat-more-plants) .
• Be heard about passing a strong Farm Bill (https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/farm-bill/index?utm_source=importantnotimportant.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=how-to-eat-more-plants) that provides critical funding so farmers can grow nutritious food via sustainable farming practices.
• Invest in sustainable farming with Farm VC (https://www.farm.vc/?utm_source=importantnotimportant.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=how-to-eat-more-plants) .
