Kevin Bacon has introduced the idea of swapping meat for beans on Wednesdays, dubbing it "Beansday" to promote better health, animal welfare, and environmental protection. In a playful PSA for Humane World for Animals, he humorously renamed himself "Kevin Bean" in support of the initiative.
Beansday, launched by Humane World for Animals, aims to reduce animal product consumption by encouraging people to opt for beans as a protein alternative. The campaign has already garnered over 12,000 pledges for meat-free Beansday meals, with support from plant-based chefs and food influencers offering recipes and resources. Beans are highlighted as an affordable, sustainable, and nutritious option, providing a healthier alternative to meat with added benefits for animals and the planet.
