MYTHBUSTER MONDAYS
Surely there’s enough fish in the oceans?? 🌊 🐟🐠🐡
If only 😅😅

A large portion of the fishing industry is at, if not beyond, their capacities. And don’t even get us started on the way we catch them… 🎣 Even if we ignore the ethics, the numbers don’t work: the ocean just cant keep up with demands. Swapping seafood with plantbased is one of the simplest ways to ease the pressure.

MYTHBUSTER MONDAY 👻
“Isn’t chicken okay??” 🐓🍗

Short answer? It’s BETTER than beef, 🥩 but “BETTER THAN BEEF” isn’t “GOOD”.

This is a super common question we receive and definitely trivial. Poultry consumption is on the rise in our society as it’s easy and versatile. But while a switch from red to white meat is definitely a step, switching to plant proteins has way more of a positive impact. 🌱

Meat (😉) Busting Mondayssss = “But… Won’t too much soy give me man b***s? 😱” Nope! No, it won’t. The plant compounds found in soy are phytoestrogens, which are entirely different from human estrogen. So no matter how much soy you eat, studies show that testosterone levels in men would not increase or decrease. So no worries gym bros, soy away 🥳😉

NEW MYTHBUSTER MONDAY 🌱🚨
Buying local is a good thing… but this isn’t the biggest issue at hand. Transport emissions are a small (albeit not insignificant) slice of food’s emissions, but the big problem lies in WHAT is on the plate. Switching even a few meals a week to plant-based ones makes a much bigger difference than shortening the supply chain. 🌱

We’re baaaaaaack!!!!!

New mythbuster: “Don’t we need meat and animal products to be healthy?” Short answer: nope! Plant-based even works for pregnant women and athletes.

Also: our cafeterias are teaming up with nutritional specialists to keep your food varied and actually good. (Do not stress… nobody’s touching your fries... We’re not that brave. 🍟)

Missed us these past few weeks? We missed you too! Drop any new questions you might have had over the holidays and we’ll get to them 👇
