Over the last few years, there’s been a surge in the number of people choosing to eat plant-based. For example, 1 in 4 Americans report eating more protein from plant sources today than they were just two years ago. However, there are still some who aren’t quite sold on the trend—perhaps because figuring out how to get enough protein from plants can be challenging at first. And finding protein that’s plant-based, easy, and delicious? That’s enough to throw people off course. But we’re here to show you why it shouldn’t… Not only is plant protein more sustainable, kinder to animals, and more budget-friendly than a carnivorous diet, but plant-based eating has also been shown to support good health1. On the other hand, a diet high in animal protein has been associated with an increased risk of health problems like heart disease and diabetes2. This could be why plant-based eating has become a growing trend in the U.S., with plant-based food sales up 27% in 2020.
