A brief overview

The continuing rise in our world population and the influence of the Western diet on Asia and other parts of the globe have dramatically increased the demand for beef, chicken, eggs, milk, pork and other animal products.   As a result, we now have an industrialized farming practice, known as “factory farming,” which confines thousands of animals in cramped spaces in order to maximize production and profit.  These foods may be cheap, but a bigger price is paid in other ways.  (Check the links above for more information.)

The good news

Plant-based options are viable and they’re taking off!   These foods provide healthy, environmentally conscious and animal friendly alternatives that can still satisfy the dining experiences you may crave.

The point is, you don’t have to give up eating these foods if you don’t want to.  You can still nosh on that hamburger, hot dog, chili, or ice cream and smack your lips with pleasure at the end.  You just choose a plant-based version that’s healthy for all involved.   It’s a win/win situation!

If you’re new to these foods, feel free to ask us for suggestions!
