As Super Bowl Sunday nears, it’s worth considering the staggering number of chickens sacrificed for a single day of indulgence - an estimated 375 million, just for wings.
This annual tradition, though beloved by many, comes at a great cost to animals, the planet, even our health.
Fortunately, there’s a kinder and equally satisfying alternative: plant-based wings. Made from ingredients, such as tofu, seitan, potatoes, even cauliflower, these options pack all the flavor without harm to animals.
Brands such as Blackbird, Gardein and Daring offer ready-to-enjoy wings, while homemade cauliflower “wing” recipes are easy, delicious and crowd-pleasing.
This year, why not make your Super Bowl spread one of compassion and sustainability?
By swapping traditional chicken wings for plant-based alternatives, you’ll score a win for animals and the environment, all while enjoying a healthier take on a game-day favorite.
