There’s good news: If you eat all the things, you don’t have to look too hard anymore for reasons to feel good about it. Feeling seen? You just might be an Applegatarian if… And just like anyone who’s committed to a vegan diet, conscientious omnivores don’t just prioritize their own health—the environment’s health is top of mind, too. Healthy soil needs grazing animals like cattle to improve water infiltration, increase its below-ground biodiversity (the wonders of all-natural fertilizer!), and importantly, help remove carbon from the atmosphere—things that vast acres of monocropped produce can’t do. Learning to raise and eat animals close to the way nature intended could be what moves the needle on better environmental health in the long run. TL/DR? It’s an amazing time for omnivore pride. Of course, if you don’t feel called to eat meat often (or ever), listen to your body. But if you do want to include animal protein as a part of your diet, go for clean, crave-able, and responsible meat. **Environmentally responsible: Applegate requires all animals to be raised without antibiotics. Applegate is committed to advancing agriculture and processing systems like organic, non-GMO, and regenerative farming.
