Sources tell us that decreasing our meat consumption is good for the planet. For instance, it conserves water, reduces our carbon footprint, and more. Plus, eating less meat may be healthier in general!

 

So, should you consider ditching meat altogether, or simply try to emphasize plant-based foods in your diet? Whatever you decide, just be sure that you are aware of the ingredients in your foods prior to consumption.

 

Here are the facts on going meatless:

 


 

WE NEED PROTEIN

Meat products are great ways to get protein, however foods such as eggs & legumes are great sources as well.
