How a Plant-Based Diet Can Help Reduce Racial Health Disparities (nutritionfacts.org/video/how-a-plant-based-diet-can-help-reduce-racial-health-disparities) was my previous video on this topic.
Didn’t that $3 meal sound delicious? The AfroVegan Society has a great starter guide for plant-based eating. Check it out here (afrovegansociety.org/african-american-vegan-starter-guid).
You might be interested in my Soul Food That’s Good for the Soul (nutritionfacts.org/video/soul-food-thats-good-for-the-soul/) video, too.
