Honestly I would love to see some sort of multifaceted approach that covers all of these issues at once.
Like put up posters for free cooking classes at soup kitchens, doctors offices and other support agencies and emphasize that there will be a number of different recipes tried. Give out bundles of food as a reward, if you come to our cooking class and say, try out a recipe involving spinach, then we'll give you some of the ingredients to make a meal or two on your own if you want them. Make sure to diversify what is taught. Maybe you don't like spinach no matter how it's used, but this brocolli is delicious to you and you want to learn how to mix it in with your pastas.
And slowly move people into the vegan lifestyle. Don't be afraid or against answering questions that involve incorporating vegetables into meat filled meals. A recipe that is 1 pound beef and the rest is veggies and pasta is still bad, but it's better than 2 pounds of beef and if it gets people to try out foods they wouldn't have normally and slowly move into incorporating them/eating them on their own it's a net positive at the end. That doesn't mean to teach them meat recipes at the classes, but if someone does have a question just answer.
