Do I need to give up meat and dairy entirely?
Not at all! Every plant-based meal counts toward improving your health and the planet. Simply being curious and trying new options can make a meaningful impact.
Can I get enough protein and amino acids eating more plant-forward?
Absolutely! Foods like lentils, tofu, edamame, and quinoa provide protein comparable to many animal-based options. For example, 1 cup of lentils offers 18 grams of protein, similar to 3 ounces of ground beef with 22 grams. By eating a variety of plant-based foods—like whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds, and vegetables—throughout the day, you’ll easily get all the essential amino acids your body needs. Plants are naturally cholesterol-free and packed with fiber, making them a wholesome choice.
How does eating plant-based benefit the environment?
Eating plant-based uses significantly fewer resources, protects forests, and reduces harmful emissions. Raising animals for food is incredibly inefficient—they consume far more food than they provide. Even swapping one meal helps conserve water, reduce pollution, and fight climate change.
