A major food processing / food service research group has released findings suggesting that over 75% of U.S. adults believe protein is necessary for a healthy diet. Furthermore the respondents believe non-meat protein sources are better than traditional meat proteins.
We couldn't agree more as personally (and professionally for clients) we seek non-meat proteins to include whole grains, legumes, nuts and of course tofu, an item we would never become excited about twenty years ago. We believe that while nothing will replace meat proteins for what they offer in flavor and satisfaction it couldn't hurt to give the animal community a break and consume them less often.
We believe the article provides a better overview of the topic so should you prefer to learn more there is a link to it below and we hope you will find it informative and offer thought for conversation and action whether if be personal or professional. Please enjoy it as we did, thanks.
