For almost 40 years, MeatOut has been raising awareness globally about the many benefits of a plant-based diet, from personal health to animal welfare and environmental sustainability.

Plant-based eating has been linked to numerous health benefits, including a reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers. A diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and plant-based proteins can also help with weight management and improve gut health. In addition to the health benefits, plant-based eating has a positive impact on the environment. Animal agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water Pollution. By reducing our consumption of animal products, we can help mitigate these environmental issues and create a more sustainable food system.
