22 Jul 2024 --- World Animal Protection has released a report assessing 25 US-based restaurant chains across multiple food and beverage categories on their inclusion of plant-based product offerings and initiatives toward cutting down on animal-based foods in their businesses. The findings highlight an “alarming” lack of “plant-based by default” options, which the organization defines as a practice of presenting plant-based dishes as the primary option, with animal-based products offered as alternatives.
