Food writer Alicia Kennedy's new book, "No Meat Required: The Cultural History and Culinary Future of Plant-Based Eating," explores the radical history of plant-based diets and critiques the industrialized food system. Kennedy argues that the present-day plant-based movement has become too focused on an industrialized approach to plant-based meats, risking the reproduction of the same mistakes as the meat industry. She emphasizes the importance of supporting local food systems and rejecting opaque and profit-driven industrialized agriculture. Collaboration and good-faith discussions among different plant-based groups are crucial for moving the conversation forward and achieving a future of sustainable and accessible plant-based food.
