#55 - The Fight to Get Schools, Hospitals, and Other Institutions to Go Meatless with Kristie Middleton

Description:

Kristie Middleton is managing director of Farm Animal Protection for The Humane Society of the United States, or the HSUS,  and working with food service providers in schools is a big part of her job.

In this interview, Kristie and I get into:

  • The growing demand for plant-based foods in the food service space.
  • How schools, hospitals, the military and other public and private institutions can help cut their carbon footprint and save money by dedicating one plant-based meal a week to their menus.
  • Chef training programs and initiatives the HSUS has developed over the years to make it easy for any major food purveyor to start serving delicious plant-based meals in their cafeterias.

While you may have never considered the positive impact that one meatless meal can have, when you hear more about what Kristie is doing to get more plant-based options into food service companies across the U.S., you will start to believe the days of mystery meat in school lunches are certainly numbered.
