For this Mission, it’s time to get cooking! We’re taking a look at the way our food choices, particularly around meat, impact the environment. Keep reading to learn more!
Whether it’s bacon for breakfast, deli meat for lunch or meatloaf for dinner, we have a lot of choices when it comes to meat. But did you know that while we’re filling our tummies, we’re also contributing to climate change?
For most of us, the meat we eat comes from livestock (animals like cows, pigs and chickens) and we’re eating so much meat, that raising livestock has become a big source of greenhouse gas emissions, which are causing the planet to warm faster than it has in the past.
That’s why we’re challenging you to go meat-free one day a week!
Don’t panic – it’s easier than you think. Pick a day of the week that works best and then leave the meat behind. You can choose a meat-free pizza, make your spaghetti without meatballs, or go with a veggie burger instead of a beef patty. You can even have mac and cheese!
Once you’ve figured out what you’re going to eat, grab your chef’s hat because it’s time to get cooking! Choose one of the day’s meals to cook with your family!
When you accept the What’s at Steak Mission, you’ll get:
• a Mission brief with meat-free meal tips to help you on your meat-free day
• a recipe card to write down your favourite meat-free recipe
• instructions to make your own chef’s hat
• a list of meat-free alternatives to keep handy in your kitchen

I have been a vegetarian for over a year now and it’s a really great experience if you know your recipes. I won’t ever go back to eating meat. Just watch out for soy, it may give you protein but it is threatening to the environment- it is killing off all the poor bees! You can easily find delicious recipes without soy, I recommend a vegan / vegetarian cookbook to anyone who’s interested in going meat free.
you are sooooo cool
Great feedback. I’m veggie too and that is very useful for anyone thinking about becoming one! I’ve been veggie for 6 years now!!!
Done!
Great mission!
I am vegetarian and do not eat meat. It doesn’t feel like I’m missing out on anything at all and I think it would be extremely difficult to take up meat again! This is a great mission though!
It was hard at first to remember I couldn’t eat meat for one day, but it wasn’t too bad because my mom is a vegetarian and helped me find some good recipes to make.
I think this challenge is good and will help our earth and if more people do it the more of a chance we have to help with climate change.
It Was So Easy Lol
Dinner was so Yummy
We do this once a week every week! So easy!
I can’t eat meat for Lent anyways.
I’m going meat free every day, ( except Sunday ) for Lent.
