Part 1 of 3: The Flexitarian Diet is a Lifestyle, Not a "Diet"  

The average American diet is low in vegetables, fruits, and dairy, and high in saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars, which is a significant public health issue. Switching to a flexitarian eating pattern, which contains both plant-based and animal-based foods in a balanced approach, can help encourage a healthy lifestyle, and with possible benefits to the planet, too.

This 3-part series discusses the benefits of flexitarian eating and its intersection with promoting a healthier relationship with food and planetary health through sustainable zero waste cooking efforts.
