A culinary and cultural history of plant-based eating in the United States that delves into the subcultures and politics that have defined alternative food.

The vegan diet used to be associated only with eccentric hippies and tofu-loving activists who shop at co-ops and live on compounds. We’ve come a long way since then. Now, fine-dining restaurants like Eleven Madison Park cater to chic upscale clientele with a plant-based menu, and Impossible Whoppers are available at Burger King. But can plant-based food keep its historical anti-capitalist energies if it goes mainstream? And does it need to?

In No Meat Required, author Alicia Kennedy chronicles the fascinating history of plant-based eating in the United States, from the early experiments in tempeh production undertaken by the Farm commune in the 70s to the vegan punk cafes and anarchist zines of the 90s to the chefs and food writers seeking to decolonize vegetarian food today.

Many people become vegans because they are concerned about the role capitalist food systems play in climate change, inequality, white supremacy, and environmental and cultural degradation. But a world where Walmart sells frozen vegan pizzas and non-dairy pints of ice cream are available at gas stations – raises distinct questions about the meanings and goals of plant-based eating.

Kennedy—a vegetarian, former vegan, and once-proprietor of a vegan bakery—understands how to present this history with sympathy, knowledge, and humor. No Meat Required brings much-needed depth and context to our understanding of vegan and vegetarian cuisine, and makes a passionate argument for retaining its radical heart.

Amazon Basics MERV 11 Filters: Solid Performance Without the Premium Price
Pattern Name: 20x20x1, Style: Merv 11
Amazon Basics MERV 11 Filters: Solid Performance Without the Premium Price I’ve been using these Amazon Basics 20x20x1 MERV 11 filters in my home HVAC system, and overall they’ve been a very dependable option for routine filter changes. I like buying them in a 6-pack because it takes the hassle out of remembering to reorder every couple of months, and the per-filter cost is noticeably lower than the big-name brands at the hardware store. Installation is straightforward. The actual size fits my return slot properly with no bending or forcing, and airflow has remained strong. With MERV 11, these strike a nice balance for my setup — noticeably better dust and pollen capture than basic MERV 5 or 8 filters, but without putting obvious strain on the system. After about a month of use, the filters clearly show they’re doing their job, collecting a visible layer of dust and fine debris. A few things to keep in mind. The cardboard frame isn’t as rigid as some premium filters, and they’re a bit thinner than brands like Filtrete. They’ve held up fine for me during normal use, but I wouldn’t try to stretch them much past the recommended replacement interval. Also, if you have an older or low-powered HVAC system, MERV 11 may be more filtration than you need — in that case, a lower MERV option might make more sense. Bottom line: These Amazon Basics MERV 11 filters are a practical, budget-friendly choice that deliver solid filtration and good airflow for regular HVAC maintenance, as long as you stick to timely replacements and don’t expect premium-brand rigidity.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can breathe again — and my house says thank you 😂

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can breathe again — and my house says thank you 😂 These Amazon Basics MERV 11 air filters have been a game changer for my HVAC system. I installed them and immediately felt like my home went from “dust tornado aftermath” to “spa-day air vibes.” Whether it’s pollen, pet hair, or mystery dust bunnies lingering in the corners, these filters make the air feel noticeably cleaner and fresher. Installation was about as easy as ripping plastic wrap off a new gadget — pop out the old filter, slide these in, and suddenly the air quality goes from “huh?” to “ahhh.” The electrostatic pleated design grabs everything from sneaky dust motes to pet dander like a champ, and I can actually tell when the AC kicks on that the air feels crisper — in a good way. 🌬️ Between the six count and the solid MERV rating, this was a smart purchase that keeps my HVAC happy and my allergies way more manageable. If you want clean air without the hassle, these filters are a fantastic value and really get the job done. Highly recommend!

Good, I think.
Pattern Name: 16x25x1, Style: Merv 11
Not my area of expertise but wanted something with a thicker filter and these seem to be doing well. They last 3+ months before discoloration is noticeable to the point you’d think it’s time to put in a new filter. The 6-pack price can’t be beat, truly. Easily installed and used, fits perfect to size and looks clean. Unknown relief on allergies so far since it’s been winter but I’m optimistic.

Better quality that name brand hardware store
Pattern Name: 20x20x1, Style: Merv 11
These are a great value for a multi-pack. They fit perfectly in the vent and you can definitely notice the difference in air quality. It’s much easier to just have a stack of these on hand so I can swap them out regularly without a trip to the store.
