For Your Health

Cutting out meat once a week helps to limit saturated fats in our diet, reducing our risk of chronic preventable conditions like heart disease, stroke, cancer, liver & kidney disease, diabetes & obesity

For Your Wallet

As food prices continue to rise, cutting out meat once a week will help you reduce your weekly food budget. Furthermore, if as a nation we limit saturated fat in our diets, we can start to curb healthcare spending

For our planet

As food prices continue to rise, cutting out meat once a week will help you reduce your weekly food budget. Furthermore, if as a nation we limit saturated fat in our diets, we can start to curb healthcare spending

For world hunger

870 million people – one in eight – are suffering from chronic malnutrition, yet 80% of the world’s agricultural land is used for feeding animals and only 20% for feeding humans directly. It takes approximately 10kgs of grain to produce just 1kg of edible animal flesh

For animals

The average meat-eater during their lifetime is personally responsible for the slaughter of 5 cows, 20 pigs, 30 sheep, 760 chickens, 46 turkeys, 15 ducks, 7 rabbits, 1 1/2 geese and 1/2 tonne of fish
