The path to going plant-based has obvious upsides, but can also be isolating and difficult.
Shouldn’t there be some middle ground for people looking to make a change without totally upending their lives?
Leader of the Reducetarian movement, Brian Kateman explores this issue through the lens of his own personal decision to reduce eating meat. Grappling with how to sort through conflicting advice, Brian seeks a practical path forward. “Meat Me Halfway” (2021) is a groundbreaking investigative journey that seeks to create some common ground at the dinner table.
The inaugural Globe Summit conference premieres this September 22-24, accessible from anywhere you are. Join The Boston Globe for an immersive virtual experience that will convene the conversation about our region's future.
Attendees are invited for three days of thought-provoking interviews and actionable discussions with leaders across four verticals – economy, health, innovation, and sustainability – that represent some of our region’s greatest strengths. This year's theme is "The Great Recovery," and each session will help define the debate on how New England can come back even stronger, and serve as a model for others seeking equitable growth.
