18. Why Mock Meat is Helpful in A Vegan Journey-A Conversation with TaShunda Franklin

In the latest podcast episode, I chat with my girl, TaShunda about her vegan journey and how her daughter (who was 8 at the time) and high cholesterol inspired her to start a healthier lifestyle.

During this conversation, we talk about:

  • How meat alternatives (mock/faux meat) are helpful for families who are looking to make the switch

  • Why it isn't a good idea to just jump on the vegan bandwagon

  • Is it possible to have meatless kids?

  • The difference between vegan and plant-based eating
