How to Be a Conscious Eater

Eating a plant-rich diet not only is the approach most tied

to longevity and well-being but is also dubbed the fourth most

effective climate-change-reversing solution. By no means nec-

essarily vegan or vegetarian, what this means in practice is

eating mostly plant-based foods. But not at the expense of fla-

vor. Done right, eating lots of stuff from the ground can fill

your belly and bring you joy.
