The Global Food Justice Alliance advocates for the right of all people to choose nutrient-dense foods such as meat, milk, and eggs, which are critical for nutritious, environmentally sustainable, and equitable food systems that can sustain both human life and the planet.

Why this Matters
There is growing concern among many citizens, scientists, academics, and food producers who share a belief that we need to preserve a true range of food options to reflect the diversity of our cultures, races, traditions, and our degree of metabolic health. Maintaining diversity and choice are at the foundation of any healthy democracy, and health itself is a human right.
