PETALUMA, Calif.– Miyoko’s Creamery – the originator of the vegan cheese and butter movement – today launched Cheese of Champs, a program that demonstrates how simple choices, like switching to vegan cheese, can have a profound impact on the world. As part of the campaign, Miyoko’s has partnered with five celebrated and decorated vegan athletes to awaken and champion the activist inside all of us.
“At Miyoko’s, we understand that the world, in its current state, is in need of activists championing change for the betterment of our planet, our food system and our general health,” said Miyoko Schinner, Founder and CEO of Miyoko’s Creamery. “In partnering with these five vegan athletes for the Cheese of Champs program, we will defy the status-quo by collaborating across their platforms to challenge and motivate their fans and followers to think beyond themselves and change the world though impactful lifestyle changes, like maintaining an animal dairy free lifestyle with the goal of showing compassion for all living things.”
