There’s no “right” way of eating that everyone, everywhere can follow — so it’s no wonder the messaging can be so confusing. That’s where “The Meat Issue” comes in. Led by food writer Alicia Kennedy, this four-week newsletter parcel is designed to help readers decipher the current conversations around sustainable meat and plant-based diets, keeping personal wellness, ecological sustainability, and economic inclusivity in mind. No preaching or judgment: We’re here to empower you to eat in a way that makes you feel good—and that you can feel good about.

Topics will include (but by no means be limited to!):

• Understanding the differences between plant-based proteins

• How to read a meat label

• Why government subsidies affect food prices

• Lab meat versus tech meat (and if either are “the future”)

• How to eat sustainably on a budget

• Easy, quick, and delicious recipes

…And, yes, personal essays will be in the mix again. Subscribe (below) and stay tuned for our lineup of writers.
