It's a widely known fact that the meat-based diet common to Americans wreaks havoc on the environment at multiple levels. And as middle-class incomes increase in developing nations, millions more around the world want to follow in our unsustainable footsteps. But what we need to do is redefine our vision of a healthy, filling meal. Around the world, eating less meat is something we can pretty much count on as a necessary step toward a one-planet future.

The way we eat is heavily influenced by what's available and what tastes good. Luckily, Seattle's vegetarian-friendly culinary scene makes it both easy and extremely palatable to eat a diet that's more plant-based (or even cut out animal products entirely). Check out our Vegetarian Map for a veggie lover's-eye-view of Seattle:
