PETA teamed with Atlanta restaurant, Slutty Vegan, to kick off their food justice campaign that brings awareness to the issue of food deserts.
The campaign calls on government officials to stop focusing so much on meat, eggs, and dairy in food deserts, and to instead provide fresher and more humane options, like fresh produce.
Together PETA and Pinky Cole from Slutty Vegan kicked off their campaign in Atlanta by handing out free entrees and vegan meal starter kits from PETA.
Cole said, Weve made veganism fun and accessible at Slutty Vegan and are all about indulging in the little pleasures life brings. We want to show that eating plant-based doesnt have to be boring. With lines down the block at each of our locations, were honored to bring good, kinder food to Atlanta and are grateful for PETA taking up this issue on a national level.
Atlanta is just the first stop for this campaign. The powerful vegan team will also be visiting Baltimore, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, and other cities.
Every year the US government spends $38 billion in tax money on the meat, egg, and dairy industry. In comparison, it only spends $17 million on the produce industry, despite scientific evidence that shows the importance of eating plant-based foods. Those in food deserts suffer all the more for this as they have very few accessible and healthy options.
