I'm curious as to the "why" - is this out of need? Seems like we could make an impact on either side - better supporting women, who in turn better support their communities, or meeting community needs so women don't feel the onus is on them. In any event, continuing to support women-owned organizations or places that employ a high number of women seems advantageous.

Social justice causes or meeting basic needs - housing first programs, or donations to Planned Parenthood.

Without doing literally any research, my hunch is that people in North America equate meat with protein, and equate protein with a means of managing weight. Additionally, I think meat might be considered to be somewhat of an indicator of wealth or resources. I think providing additional education and options to people at a young age, and by putting efforts towards food-production policies, could help shift our culture around food.
