Unscramble the Blue Letters


Now sincalg from here, it’s not easy politically or personally. But we're not tknialg about never eating meat. We're talking about less meat and more platns. We're talking about overconsumption of meat. The average American right now eats six times the recommended amount of red meat. Six times. If we were to just halve that, it would have massive benefits for the cmiltae, for food security and for health. And companies and governments have been tlenilg us for decades what to eat. They have the power to help us choose differently. And yes, there's psoergrs to be made. We need products that are plant-based to be hhitelaer and cheaper. But without a doubt, eating more plants is better for the pelnat, better for animals and better for us. And when companies and governments make it easier for us to choose differently, we do. People want hlaehty and sustainable options, but it's simply not that easy to make that choice today.
