A large, slow-moving Category 4 storm like Hurricane Ian would push a catastrophic surge across much of coastal Miami-Dade many times worse and extending much farther inland than Irma did in 2017.

It’s been less than 10 years since I first went vegetarian, but it’s remarkable to see how much has changed in that time. Even more remarkable is how much has changed for vegans, as meat and dairy alternatives have expanded and improved, while plant-based brands like Beyond Meat or Impossible Foods have grown widely popular.
