Is it time to try a plant-based diet?
What we put on our plates shapes how we feel, move, and exist in the world. Food isn’t just fuel—it’s a way to honor both our bodies and the planet. At Body Cafe, we are intentional about every ingredient, ensuring they support local Santa Fe farmers and the integrity of our clients health and vitality.
A plant-based diet is deeply restorative. Science affirms what ancient cultures have known—plants are medicine. Nutrient-dense and anti-inflammatory, plant-based foods support longevity, gut health, and cognitive clarity. They sustain energy rather than deplete it, creating a foundation for well-being.
The benefits extend far beyond personal health. According to the FAO, factory farming accounts for about 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions—more than the entire transportation sector. Livestock farming releases methane, a gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Industrial animal agriculture fuels deforestation, water pollution, and habitat destruction, threatening countless species. Choosing plants over animal products reduces our carbon footprint, conserves resources, and protects biodiversity. This is no longer just a matter of what’s good for our health, its about putting our planet first.
Every bite we take is a step towards the kind of world we want to live in. If you want to learn more, documentaries like 'Cowspiracy,' 'Seaspiracy,' and 'Forks Over Knives' reveal the effects of industrial animal agriculture on the planet. Even simple acts such as replacing a couple of animal-based meals per week to plant-based meals can make a lasting impact.
At Body Cafe, we believe in food’s power to transform. Our farm-to-table, plant-based, and gluten-free menu is all about nourishment from the people we serve to the earth we’re lucky to walk on.
