CHEF EDUARDO JUSTO

I decided to go plant-based 4 years ago when I met my wife. Changing the way I eat and cook was challenging but exciting. Cooking with no animal proteins was a real experience: it helped me to get more creative and inventive in the kitchen... I really love the fact that I can create delicious food with only plants and that I get the health benefits from it, and that I can help the world by doing so. I've also learnt to appreciate animals more. Admittedly, I wasn't really aware of them before; I just ate to eat because that's what I was taught. Now, I see them as living beings. I believe that a shift towards plant-based eating will help us have more food for those in need, a healthy planet, healthier people and a reduction in animal slaughter just for the sake of satisfying our demands. I don't think animal farming will disappear completely, but at least we can strive for more conscious and sustainable practices.
