Tofu, or not tofu,
that is the question
What’s so great about a VegLifestyle?
- It’s Good For The Environment: Abstaining from animal products is one of the most effective ways to lower our carbon footprint.
- It’s Good For Your Health: More and more people are now turning to plant-based diets for the health benefits. With loads of healthy proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and fiber — all with low saturated fat — we are finding common health issues like diabetes and obesity can be reversed.
- It’s Good For Animals: This one is pretty cut and dry. As each of us replace animal-sourced products with superior synthetic and plant-based products, fewer animals will be placed in the supply chain to meet demand for our growing population.
- It’s Good For Society: More people eating more plant-based food means more plant-based food for more people. The bottom line: growing crops to feed animals so we can eat meat is an extraordinarily inefficient production method. On another note, have you ever met anyone hoping a factory farm sets up shop in their community? Yeah, neither have we.
