One of our Behind The Plate questions that we ask interviewees is \u201cIf you could get the general population to change ONE aspect of their eating habits, what would it be?\u201d It\u00a0comes down to this\u2014know your food, as awareness is a\u00a0crucial element of eating well. Cook. Eat more plants and less animals. And don’t eat too much of anything. Here are ten of our favorite answers.<\/i><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Sanjay Rawal – Care about who is responsible for your food\u2014whether it’s a farmworker, a restaurant worker or your mom!<\/li>\n
  2. Palak Patel (@palaknyc<\/a>) – Reduce their meat consumption! Even if it means replacing a single meat meal with a vegetarian option. That’s a start.<\/li>\n
  3. Simran Sethi – Stop supersizing everything. Let’s recognize how precious food is and stop wasting 40 percent of it (here in the U.S.).<\/li>\n
  4. Audrey Snowe (@unconventionalbaker<\/a>)\u00a0– Just encouraging the understanding of where your food comes from, how it has been raised\/developed\/handled, and using your money as a vote to help sustainable enterprise\/farmers.<\/li>\n
  5. Noni Vaughn-Pollard (@darkchocolatepeanutbutter<\/a>)\u00a0– I agree with Michael Pollan, that we as a society need to get back into the kitchen. There’s something magical and exciting about creating nourishment for your body with only a few simple ingredients. Whenever I cook my food, I don’t feel stress or guilt. It’s hard not to feel stress or guilt when food isn’t made by you and becomes a mystery.<\/li>\n
  6. Emily Van Raay (@modelsforwellness<\/a>)\u00a0– Know where your meat comes from.<\/li>\n
  7. Jill de Jong – To eat more whole foods!<\/li>\n
  8. Emily Summerlin (@etsummer<\/a>) – I want more people to realize that a plate doesn’t need meat to be a complete, substantial meal. That mentality is so frustrating to me. I think people are getting better about it, but I can’t tell you how many times I get the question “what do you eat?” when I say I’m a vegetarian. There are so many foods out there that don’t come from animals that are full of protein and are nourishing and filling.<\/li>\n
  9. Matthew Preston (@diginn<\/a>) – Moderation! You don\u2019t necessarily have to cut anything out, just reduce your consumption of it to achieve a good balance.<\/li>\n
  10. Matthew Kenney – Eat one plant-based meal a day.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
