Thanks for sharing this, John. It's such an interesting paradigm that I've

copied it for all:

 

 

 

We are a group of people who want to ensure a healthy, sustainable planet.

We are working to make

this world a better place by showing how what you

eat impacts your health, the environment and

the animals.

 

We believe that vegetarianism is beneficial for your

health, for the animals and for the

environment. The traditional view of vegetarianism

makes a distinction between two groups of

people, those who do not eat meat (vegetarians) and

those who do (non-vegetarians). This view is

characterized by having rigid boundaries. In this

model, vegetarians feel isolated from the

non-vegetarians, and feel forced to choose between a

non-vegetarian and vegetarian lifestyle.

 

We have a different view. We believe that, in

addition to the vegetarians and non-vegetarians, there

are two other categories which represent a largely

ignored market: those who are pre-disposed to

vegetarianism and those who are reducing their meat

consumption. In our view of this new model,

there are no rigid boundaries and therefore the

person feels more integrated with society. Also

this view is realistic and more flexible.

 

We believe that moving non-vegetarians to reducers

takes less effort than moving reducers to

vegetarians. There are many more animals saved, for

the effort, in getting large numbers of people

who are pre-disposed to vegetarianism to begin

reducing their meat consumption. Our aim is to

reduce the total number of meat meals per month for

the greatest number of people.

 

Our strategy is to move those who are pre-disposed

to vegetarianism closer to the category of

" reducer " and to move those who are already reducing

their meat intake closer to the category of

" vegetarian " and to assist those who are already

vegetarian/vegan in maintaining their lifestyle.

 

We provide information about how to change your life

and the world around you by what you choose

to eat. We believe in bringing the restaurants,

grocery stores, and products together with the

people to make it easier to live a lifestyle that is

for the animals, for better health, and for the

environment.

 

We are a positive, supportive, future-oriented group

who believes that you can change the world

one meal at a time.
