Considering more plant-based meals?

There has been a big shift in recent years from focusing on labels (meat-eater, vegetarian, vegan, etc.) to focusing on simply eating a more plant-based diet. 

The research on the benefits of eating more plant-based meals for our health (protecting us from everything from heart disease to depression), and for the planet, keeps getting stronger. 

It’s kind of beautiful that the plant-based meals that are the healthiest for us, containing less refined grains and sugar, are also the best for the planet, requiring far less water and causing much less global warming pollution. 

Because more plant-based meals require less water and cropland to feed people — and cause less land degradation — they are also key to building stronger, local food systems that can handle climate-fuelled storms, droughts and heat waves.

You may have heard a lot of this before, or maybe you’re just curious to try something new. Either way, the main thing that holds most people back is that they aren’t sure how to make simple and satisfying plant-based meals. Here are some of the best ways to solve that problem.
