"Transformation to healthy diets by 2050 will require substantial dietary shifts. Global consumption of fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes will have to double, and consumption of foods such as red meat and sugar will have to be reduced by more than 50%. A diet rich in plant-based foods and with fewer animal source foods confers both improved health and environmental benefits", reveals EAT-Lancet Commission. We truly believe in a more natural and sustainable way of eating and are proud to offer a portfolio that is 95% vegetarian.
