Why we train people
Change is hard. Sustaining it is harder.
Intention isn't enough: people need information, tools and company. These figures explain why education sits at the center of what we do.
0 out of 100
people who stop eating animals go back. More than half do so within their first year.
And 84% of those who gave up had tried without any group or organization to support them.
Faunalytics, Study of Current and Former Vegetarians and Vegans (2014), United States.19.6 hours
of nutrition is what a whole medical degree in the United States includes on average. The recommended minimum is 25, and only 27% of schools meet it.
If those who advise us on what to eat barely study nutrition, training professionals is urgent.
