    Food has also turned me into a sustainability nut.

    Living plant-based also saves the planet from


    the impact of animal agriculture. For the same amount of land space, a farmer can produce 200
    kilograms of soybeans versus 16 kilograms of beef. I do my part to have as small of an
    ecological footprint as I can. I stopped using plastic snack bags and instead turned to reusable
    beeswax wraps. My favorite reusable appliance is my foldable straw. If I am going to nourish my
    body, shouldn’t I also want to nourish the earth? 

    My journey toward healthy living led me to becoming co-leader of the Northern Nevada
    PlantPure Pod, “Biggest Little Plant Pod”, a group dedicated to spreading the message about the
    whole food plant-based lifestyle. We are currently working on a restaurant campaign to
    encourage local eateries to create a plant-based, oil-free menu option and become PlantPure
    certified. After discovering how many restaurants use oil in their cooking, I decided I needed to
    open a plant-based oil free cafe to make up for this gap. My dream is to open up my very own
    affordable oatmeal cafe based on my Instagram page, morning_mOATivations. And I know that
    oatmeal isn’t the sexiest superfood out there, so here’s my sales pitch: I’m going to make
    oatmeal the Beyonce of the breakfast world- sweet, sassy, and power packed. This allows me to
    educate people about nutritional science through the stomach. 

    Finally, I am a strong proponent of hands-on experience for learning what good food looks and
    tastes like, so cooking is one of my favorite ways to teach the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle.
    Using my taste buds as my textbook to learn which flavors work together and which ones don’t
    helps me educate, as I’ve found that information tends to stick in a person’s mind once they’ve
    experienced healthy, delicious foods with their own senses. Our society has taught us that
    delicious food has to make us feel guilty, when that is simply not the case. The best feeling in the
    world is falling in love with a dish and then learning all the health benefits that it provides the
    body.
