Taco Bell

Taco Bell may have angered a few of its vegetarian fans when it created a Superbowl ad that made fun of eating veggies on game day, but if you consider the fast food establishment during any other time of the year, it’s a pretty good place to score an inexpensive plant-based dish.

David Novak, chairman and CEO, Yum Brands Inc. has an interview with Live Mint where he declares that a whopping 70% of its menu in India is vegetarian.

North American menus aren’t bad for veggies either and almost all of those vegetarian items can also be made vegan if you take off the cheese, sour cream and other miscellaneous milk-based sauces.

Joe Yonan

“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. Mark Bittman does a beautiful job of this philosophy with his Eat Vegan Before 6:00. Certainly the Meatless Monday campaign is a good way to think about it.”

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.
