Description:
Food It Forward has a line of amazing vegan comfort foods, like BBQ Ribs, Beef Stew, and a variety of home-made seitans (a meat substitute made by Buddhist monks for hundreds of years) to help people eat healthier, live longer, and fully omit needless violence from their behaviors. With every purchase a meal will be provided to someone somewhere starving, symbolic of the fact that when you choose plant-based meals you are using less resources thereby leaving more for others. We know that everyone can be empowered by greater health, compassion and thru conscious action and improved food habits world hunger and our many of our health crisis can be wiped out.
Food It Forward meals are unlike anything currently on the market and gained the approval of not only vegans and vegetarians, but also many omnivores who say they can not tell the difference between my seitains and traditional meat ingredients. Meals range from Italian favorites like chick'n picatta and marsala and Alfredos, to curries, to home-made sausages, potstickers, stir-frys, BBQ Ribs, baked beans with bacon, carne asada tacos, (URL removed) of gourmet quality. I did attend Le Cordon Bleu in San Francisco, I have my Bachelors in Political, Legal and Economic Analysis from Mills College and am forecasting obtaining my masters degree in Management from Mills College in 2019. I know this food can be the catalyst for change and ultimately helping people overcome health concerns like obesity, heart disease, diabetes etc by making it even easier to eat healthy. (Peer viewed medical research has shown that plant-based diets have reversed even stage three cancers and diabetes.)
