Kick the Meat Habit

Explore Your Options

Every day, lions chase gazelles, wolves hunt deer, hawks catch rabbits, and snakes snag rats. They eat other animals because they have no choice.

We do.

Today, every supermarket carries a rich selection of delicious, convenient, healthy, eco-friendly, cruelty-free plant-based meats, milks, cheeses, and ice creams. Family restaurants and fast-food franchises offer convenient plant-based choices in burgers, nuggets, tacos, pizza, ice cream, and every other comfort food imaginable.

Choosing plant-based eating is today’s privilege of being … human.

Kick the Meat Habit reminds us that much of our diet, including meat eating, is just a habit we grew up with, just like smoking in the 50s and 60s. It’s not something we consciously selected after considering suitable alternatives.

But a key privilege of being human is that we can choose to have our food and other life choices align with our personal values of maintaining good health, protecting our planet, and reducing suffering. It’s a choice.
