What are plant-based butchers? Vegan butchers make sumptuous meats from plants—that’s right, juicy, flavorful “meat” that doesn’t require the needless slaughtering of animals. Who wouldn’t be into that idea?
In addition to the animal abuse and killing, more and more people are learning about the disastrous effects that meat has on the environment and their personal health. No wonder there’s a growing demand for kinder, cleaner food options.
