Latin America is a region known for its love of meat, but attitudes are starting to shift. This is all thanks to rising awareness of the problems associated with animal agriculture and the growing availability of meat-free options.
Even in Argentina, where beef has long been king, change is beginning to take root. Recent data suggests that plant-based food products now account for about six percent of total food sales.
Is that accurate? Is it really that low? Fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts/seeds, packaged junk like fried potatoes and instant noodles and soy-based meats and those caramel-coated peanut things… all combined only account for 6% of “food” sales? How are Argentinians even alive?
