Plantists
Plantists is a dining club for folks who want to eat better. We meet at a restaurant in downtown Philly each week, order yummy plants, and hang out for a while.Looking to shed a few pounds? Lower your cholesterol, inflammation, and risk of heart disease? Restore your microbiome with an infusion of fiber?Guided by expert advice, we build each other up and incrementally embark upon small steps that by the end of 3 months will have transformed our dietary lives and empowered us to sustain healthier bodies with habits we can be proud of.If you're a friendly person in your 30s or 40s eager to replace SAD solo dinners with happy herbivore ones, Plantists is the group for you. Earn years more of health to enjoy your family & friends while boosting your karma and dramatically reducing your carbon footprint. With each intentional meal, we make a difference for future generations inhabiting this planet, as well as meaningfully protest the oppression of those currently victimized by America's prevailing food system.
We all have different motivations and goals, but we all face a similar struggle — it’s freaking hard to change! Good habits aren’t built by will power; they’re built by making better behavior fun!The first steps on the path are the hardest, and they’re much easier if you join a big group of fellow hikers who happen to be having a good time along the way. Dinner groups are organized based on age so that everyone dines among peers, and each gathering is lightly structured so that everyone will connect meaningfully, no matter how fluent at small talk. Our meals are as much about friendly chatting as they are tactical support sessions. We also meet up toward the end of each month for games or quizzo!

FAQs
How does this work?
Plantists signups are batched into age-based groups that progress over the course of three months, attending weekly dinners at restaurants in Center City. Offering a space to share struggles, support, motivation, and tips, the program is designed so that no one who's serious about improving their diet will fail to grow toward their vision of a healthier relationship with food. Folks will also likely conclude the program with a group of friends after having offered each other encouragement, accountability, and good company over several months of being teammates. Solidarity is the secret sauce.
What does membership cost?
First off, we invite you to check out Plantists to see if it's a good fit — before officially becoming a member, you're warmly welcome to join for two weeks free.Membership dues are $25 per month: significantly cheaper than your gym membership, Plantists might be 3x as valuable for your health, offering supportive guidance on big changes through small steps wisely taken.A healthier microbiome, reduced blood pressure, a slimmer waistline, enhanced athletic performance, whatever you're after... there are lots of benefits to consuming more plants. Learning how to sub out standard American grub for plant-based fare — and for this to be unexpectedly enjoyable! — will get you on the road to a better life with greater longevity.
When does it start? And is now the right time for me to begin?
Well, the human tendency to procrastinate means that when (or if) we finally make progress, we typically deplore our delay — "why didn't I do this years ago?!"Every day matters, and positive effects stack up immediately when you get serious about eating well. The momentum of motivation is magical, and it starts with a trivially easy signup.Although folks can join up to two weeks late, the next cohort starts on March 15th.
