From the Humane Society of the United States’ Senior Director of Food Policy, comes the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ of eating less meat, and enjoying more plant-based meals.
Aimed at the countless individuals contemplating a more plant-based diet, MeatLess offers concrete reasons for reducing meat consumption – to look and feel better, have a lighter eco-footprint, or to help animals – and simple strategies, recipes, swaps, and shopping advice to help people on their way.
According to a recent survey by the Vegetarian Resource Group, 47 percent of the U.S. population eats at least one meat-free meal each week. Food industry insiders predict that flexitarian eating – consuming meat, but focusing more on plant-based foods – will be a top trend in 2017.
Part exposé, part lifestyle book, with stories and over 60 recipes, MeatLess presents scientific and nutritional research along with real-life examples in a compelling and relatable style to help guide readers on their journey to reduce meat and eat more plant-based foods. It offers a concise, practical, and realistic approach to enjoying healthier, meat-free meals on each reader’s own terms.
Kristie Middleton is the senior director of food policy for the Humane Society of the United States, where she directs the organization’s efforts to increase plant-based eating. Middleton has partnered with some of the nation’s largest school districts, as well as dozens of hospitals and some of the America’s top universities to implement healthier eating programs. She holds a certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies.
