Planet Friendly Eating
Action 3: Decide on the best way for your family to adopt a plant-rich diet
There is no one right way. Food choices are highly personal with many cultural considerations. You have probably been eating the same way for many years. Think about it. Talk it over with your family members.
You can choose to cut out meat and dairy one day per week which is the equivalent of a 15% reduction; be meatless before 6 pm; be meatless on weekdays which is a 71% reduction; or simply cut down the size of your meat and dairy servings.
Plant-based diets can be delicious, nutritious, inexpensive, simple or complicated, basic or creative. There are many types of beans, tofu, grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables, spices and plant-based sauces. With some new recipes and cooking experimentation, you will find satisfying and healthy alternatives to some of your current meat and dairy dishes.
