Bye-Bye Beef: Restaurants Offering More Veg Options

Sarah Von Alt February 5, 2015
An article on Main
Street.com
highlights a decrease in American beef consumption as well as a
growing market for vegetarian options at chains like Chipotle and White Castle.
According to the author, “The new options come as Washington
and the United Nations are pushing plant-based diets to save the
environment and lower health care costs. The restaurant chains, however,

The author also explains that millenials have been at the
forefront of this growing demand, actively expressing an interest in
plant-based options, whether they’re strictly veg or not.
Just last week, Ikea announced it would add
vegan meatballs to all of its U.S. locations after an online petition urged the
company to add vegan options to its café menus.
