Real Men Eat Plants (2020)
Final Year Project
Final Year Project
Why are only 33% of vegans male? ‘Real Men Eat Plants’ is a campaign created
by the vegan organisation ‘UpBeet’ to promote plant-based diets for all men, ages 35-55 in particular. Because of the associations between femininity and veganism, and between meat and men, ‘Real Men Eat Plants’ wants to show that plant-based diets are for everyone. Usually, vegan campaigns for men focus on athletes or very specific types of ‘manly’ men. By playing on male stereotypes in a humorous and relatable way, ‘Real Men Eat Plants’ is able to attract all types of men and be more inclusive. The main reasons for men to go plant-based – health, the climate, and animal rights – are explored using simple infographics suggesting easy changes that men can make in their daily lives. By starting them off with an engaging and competitive seven day cooking challenge, ‘Real Men Eat Plants’ makes it as easy as possible for men to make the switch.
