16 Impactful 2020 Resolutions So Easy You Could Start Them Today

Written by Doug Hay

New year’s resolutions get such a bad reputation because they’re notoriously ambitious and unplanned.

And that’s why most people fail… if they bother to set a resolution at all.

This year, I’m doing something different, and as it turns out, Matt decided (independently) to do the same thing — and we think you might like to join us.

Instead of one, big ambitious 2020 goal, we’ve decided to go small.

Set tiny micro habits that take very little effort and, therefore, are likely to succeed.

You’ll have mini wins throughout the year and start taking on more than one, and by the time 2020 is done, you’ll be able to look back on the past 12 months and see the real impact they’ve had on your health and happiness.

Matt and I discussed this idea, plus the 16 habits we recommend most, in a recent episode of No Meat Athlete Radio (and on the blog, here).

The Shared Grill Controversy: When is a Vegan Burger Not Vegan?

Written by Doug Hay

When we heard the news of a recent lawsuit against Burger King over the Impossible Whopper, we had to ask ourselves: Do we care if our plant-based burger is grilled on the same grill as a meat burger? Do the animals care? And what might our answers to those questions mean for the vegan community […]
