Our Story
Launched in 2024, 'Real People Eat Plants’ represents a bold evolution in the plant-based movement.
Building on the foundation of 'Real Men Eat Plants,' established in 2011 following Bryan's own transformative journey, this new entity broadens the reach and deepens the impact. It encompasses initiatives like the 'Plant-Based on Fire' podcast, 'Green Growth Collective,' the 'Plant Powered Passport' live event series, and 'VegReg,' a plant-based business directory.
With four active podcasts and an ambition to grow to seven, producing new content daily, our mission is to empower all individuals in the United States on their plant-based journey and support the growth of plant-based businesses.
