MORNINGSTAR FARMS® PARTNERS WITH JONATHAN VAN NESS TO HELP YOU WEAR YOUR PLANT-BASED PRIDE ON YOUR SLEEVE THIS EARTH DAY

MorningStar Farms® celebrates how stylishly simple – and delicious! – eating plant-based can be, with limited-edition Crop Top. 

BATTLE CREEK, Mich., April 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether you eat plant-based once a week or at every meal, you are doing something to be proud of, therefore it's time to celebrate these small wins and their big effects in epic fashion – and wear your plant-based pride on your sleeve. Enter, the MorningStar Farms Crop Top, because if you don't need a whole shirt, you certainly don't need a whole lifestyle change to simply eat less meat.

MorningStar Farms is partnering with reality television star Jonathan Van Ness to demonstrate how stylishly simple – and delicious! – it can be to eat plant-based. The Crop Top was created in collaboration with KD New York, a clothing company providing premium and environmentally innovative knitwear for the past forty years. 

"I am thrilled to be partnering with MorningStar Farms on the Crop Top this Earth Day – it's a stylish statement piece that lets the world know 'I eat plant-based, and I look delicious doing it!'" said Van Ness. "MorningStar Farms has so many yummy options that make it easy to eat less meat. From incorporating MorningStar Farms foods into my meal plan to starting my own vegan hair care line, I've truly made plant-based a part of my healthy lifestyle routine."  

This Earth Day, MorningStar Farms fans will have a chance to win their own Crop Top! From April 22 through May 7, head to @morningstarfarms on Instagram or Facebook to find out how to enter. Love the top, but just starting to investigate what the whole "plant-based" thing is all about? We've got you covered – each winner will also receive coupons for free MorningStar Farms product, so you can give it a try on us. Don't forget to post on social with #ForkDrop to show how you strut your plant-based pride with ease – because every delicious MorningStar Farms meal is a small win worth celebrating.

"We're excited to showcase that with MorningStar Farms you don't need a whole lifestyle change to try plant-based eating. We have something for everyone, and who better to show that than Jonathan Van Ness? His experience in the plant-based space, eye for fashion, and dedication to inclusivity make him the perfect partner for sporting our crop top and sparking conversation on how easy eating plant-based can be," said Danielle Rappoport, Kellogg's Marketing Director, Plant-Based Protein. "MorningStar Farms is here for anyone who's interested in incorporating plant-based protein into their healthy lifestyle and we can't wait to see them show off their love of doing so with the Crop Top."
