Independence From Meat Day encourages individuals to explore healthier, plant-based diets. By cutting down on the amount of meat consumed, people can improve their overall health and well being with a balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruits, grains and legumes.
In addition to promoting healthier lifestyle choices, Independence From Meat Day is also an important reminder about how our food choices affect the environment. Eating less meat and more plant based meals helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve water as well.
Eating less meat means fewer animals have to suffer in factory farms or feedlots before they reach the plate. By choosing plant based options instead of animal products, we show compassion for animals who are often subject to cruel farming practices.
