Ep 85. Plant Powered Protein with author, Vesanto Melina, RD

After following Vesanto's career for over thirty years, Sandra is thrilled to interview one of the first experts on plant based eating before it was even popular.

Vesanto, and co author dietitian Brenda Davis, have written 14 books, which are published in 10 different languages. Their first book "Becoming Vegetarian" was released in 1993.

Their 2016 release, "Becoming Vegan" is used as an educational resource and text book in some countries due to it's comprehensive nature, including research and evidence, and in depth look at plant-based eating.

Plus, each book is sprinkled with practical strategies, such as dealing with intestinal gas when eating beans, and easy to make recipes for people transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle.

Their books have been utilized and referenced by Health Canada, when the new Canada's Food Guide was developed and released in 2019 for a more comprehensive approach to including a bigger ratio of plant foods on the plate for health.

At 81 years old, Vesanto has been a vegan for the majority of her adult life and has continued to make impact around the world with her evidence based information about plant-based diets.

Join Rob and Sandra for this enlightening and invigorating interview with Vesanto Melina, RD.
