Meatless Mouthful–Mario Batali Praises New Flexitarian Handbook
Written by Vegetarian Star on July 26th, 2011 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Meatless Mouthful.
“The fact is, most people in the U.S. eat way more meat than is good for them or the planet, but even knowing this, the chances are little that we are all going to become vegetarians, much less vegan. Asking everyone to go vegetarian or vegan is not a realistic or attainable goal, but we can focus on a more plant-based diet and support the farmers who raise their animals humanely and sustainably. This is why I am such a big believer in the Meatless Monday Movement and the Environmental Working Group’s Meat Eaters Guide to Climate Change and Health.”
—Mario Batali, on the Environmental Working Group’s site that helps potential part-time vegetarians learn how to reduce their footprint. The guide discusses both the environmental and health benefits that are gained from reducing one’s intake of animal products.
