2. Plant-Based Everything
There's a misconception that a plant-based diet means going totally vegan. Not so! Plant-based diets simply refer to the idea of a more sustainable eating pattern for both health and environmental reasons: Eat more plants, eat fewer animal products. It also encompasses some fun ways to incorporate more plant-foods into your diet, like using jackfruit instead of pulled pork or beef jerky. Expect to see a lot more of the plant-based push once the 2015 Dietary Guidelines are released.
