Mindy Kaling (Almost) Made the Perfect Airplane Meal. Here’s What We’d Change

Mindy Kaling recently shared a homemade salad recipe that she prepped for an airplane meal, inspired by Jessica Biel. While her salad included animal products like canned salmon and honey, it can easily be made vegan by using canned vegan fish options and replacing the honey and goat's cheese with plant-based alternatives. Kaling has expressed a desire to eat less red meat, following the example of her friend Natalie Portman who is vegan, citing health and environmental reasons for the change.

In addition to Kaling's plant-based efforts, she has also tried and praised plant-based meat alternatives like the Impossible Burger. Several celebrities, including Jay-Z and Serena Williams, have invested in Impossible Foods, showing support for innovative plant-based products. Kaling's advocacy for plant-based eating aligns with a growing trend towards more sustainable and compassionate food choices in the entertainment industry.
