Which chains will help make the new year a happy one by adding a new plant-based option to their menus?
Both Firebirds Wood Fired Grill and Taco Del Mar have already committed to adding a substantial plant-based menu item in 2023!
Ask Dairy Queen, Five Guys, Quiznos, and King Taco to make plant-based resolutions as well.
People everywhere are making resolutions to eat more plant-based food for a variety of reasons, including animal welfare, the environment, and their health.
Restaurants should help customers achieve their goals by adding a new plant-based option for 2023.
Why do we need a plant-based new year?
For animals:
Greater consumption of plant-based meals could help lower the demand for animal-based products and result in fewer animals suffering at factory farms.
For the environment:
Plant-based foods require less land and water to produce than their animal-based counterparts and contribute fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
For personal health:
Plant-based foods have been shown to reduce the risk of many health problems, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and chronic heart disease.
For everyone to have options:
Customers expect restaurants to offer menus that are inviting to all their family and friends, including those who want to enjoy delicious plant-based meals.
For demand:
Demand for plant-based food is growing—and not just among vegans. Market research shows that the main consumer category for plant-based food is people who identify as meat eaters.
Make 2023 the year of plant-based options.
