“You can use meat to season rather than being a big hunk of protein in the middle of the plate. But if you have a hard time breaking out of that, then I would start by just designating certain meals as meatless.

—Joe Yonan, food critic and editor for the Washington Post, with his advice on going vegetarians or flexitarian. You can read more about Yonan’s journey to a plant-based diet in his interview with the Humane Society’s November/December 2013 issue of All Animals magazine.
