reknowable_resources Shifting to a plant-forward diet doesn’t mean giving up meat. It simply means focusing more on plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes, while enjoying smaller portions of animal products. It can also be more affordable, with staples like beans, rice, and pasta often costing less than meat. Many everyday meals—such as salads, soups, and pizza—can easily be plant-forward. Protein-rich options like lentils, tofu, nuts, and seeds provide important nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and minerals to help keep you full and energized.

This isn’t an all-or-nothing change. Small steps can make a big difference, especially when adopted at scale. Try adding one or two plant-forward meals each week and encourage others to join you!
