The science is in: global warming is real, and it’s worse than many had imagined.

What’s more, our food choices have played a major role in creating this environmental disaster.

The evidence is clear that vegetarian foods are “cool foods,” both because of their increasing popularity and because of their role in helping prevent global warming.

In fact, plant-based meals are becoming so widely available that restaurant trade publication Fast Casual recently published a promising story describing that “the demand for meat-free meals has spiked, and restaurants have responded by ramping up the number of vegetarian items on their menus.” Gourmet magazine regularly features vegetarian recipes.

  8. Yo, I am so happy that people are starting to recognize this. I heard that the gas let out by cattle is a huge global warming hazard like four years ago and in that time I feel like no one else has done anything to raise awareness about it. Not only that, but forests in South America are being clear cut to make room for more cattle ranching only exasperating the problem.
