Is Being a Vegan Sexy-Cool? with Jacque Reid
What is Veganism?! Is it an expensive diet? A trendy way of life for “earthy, healthy” people? Does being vegan mean I have to give away all of my favorite designer handbags and shoes made of leather?! Can I still be a part-time vegan, or vegan-ISH and get some of the benefits? Why does it seem like there’s SO much dislike for this movement? And there’s so many new studies around plant based /whole food diets yielding higher immune systems, but where do vegans get protein? Can they get enough calcium? Seems there’s still SO many question marks surrounding this topic, but one thing we DO know is that there are SO many health benefits to having a plant based diet. A few MAJOR ones that we hear about: it can significantly reduce heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and certain cancers. So we are thrilled to welcome Jacque Reid (vegan), Emmy award winner, multi-media maven for NBC, and host of the Vegan Sexy Cool podcast a lifestyle brand which links eating vegan, wellness and social justice. She’s giving us the scoop on what caused her to become a full-fledged vegan, why this lifestyle has become sooo popular for some and how to live a healthier, kinder more fulfilling life, while having a whole lot of fun!
