SALT SPRING ISLAND, British
Columbia, Jan. 13, 2021
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- WAWWE – We Are What We Eat – is a new
meal delivery service that delivers plant-based, ready-to-eat meals
anywhere on Salt Spring
Island.
"We wanted to create an easy, affordable way for people to be
able to eat healthy, local food, eliminate packaging, support
regenerative farming and save time." says co-founder David Marshall.
The grassroots initiative is not looking to make a profit, but
rather to make healthy, delicious and truly planet-friendly food
available for all. Wholesome ingredients are sourced from
sustainable local farms directly into a local kitchen where
Haidee Hart and her team of amazing
Salt Spring chefs prepare them into delicious meals. These are
delivered fresh right to the doorstep with electric vehicles and
zero single-use packaging. Containers are collected during the next
delivery, washed and refilled with another day's healthy and
delicious food.

The inspiration behind WAWWE is the realization that the way
food is produced and consumed lies at the heart of humanity's
global health, environmental, economic and even political crises.
The industrial food system is broken and the harm it creates is
accelerating at a scary rate.
Even if people are able to consistently buy healthy, local
foods, there is still no way not to generate an excessive amount of
packaging and energetic waste. Now, finally, there is an affordable
and truly planet-friendly option, WAWWE.

WAWWE makes it possible to shift effortlessly to a full or
partial plant-based diet. The meal service includes 13 plant-based
meals per week. Drawing inspiration from the farms, forests and
ocean around Salt Spring Island,
Haidee's menus reflect the exceptional ingredients that the pacific
northwest has to offer. Wooden crates of fully prepared meals with
zero single-use packaging are delivered using 100% electric
vehicles. Crates arrive on doorsteps Sunday and Tuesday afternoons
and contain dinner for that evening as well as breakfast, lunch and
dinner for the next couple of days – a great foundation for either
a full or partial plant-based diet. WAWWE meals as well as snacks,
desserts and pantry items from other great local kitchens can also
be purchased a la carte and included in the delivery.
WAWWE is a community working together to support humanity's
shift into a healthy relationship with food. Success is measured
collectively by the number of truly planet-friendly meals served
each week. Every dollar earned will be reinvested into making WAWWE
meals available to more people, while decreasing the negative
environmental impact of how food is currently produced and
consumed.
Eating WAWWE meals has an immediate and positive impact on both
the local community and the planet:
- Eliminate single-use food packaging
- Significantly reduce usage of gas, electricity, dish soap and
water
- Get at least 6 hours a week back. Take back the time spent
grocery shopping, preparing food, meal planning, dishwashing,
packing lunches for school or work, and managing recycling,
composting, and garbage.
- Stop eating preservatives and other unnecessary additives
- Stop financially supporting destructive farming practices
- Start financially supporting sustainable, regenerative
farming
Not only in terms of personal health but also collective health
and the health of the planet, We Are What We Eat. There is one
place that nearly everything that matters most in this world
converges – the fork. The decision of what to put on the fork each
meal affects not just the individual, but also the wider community
and this precious planet.
