My Dad and my Uncles had heart trouble and type 2 diabetes, so I bought the book "How to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease", by Dr. Essylstyn and the book "How to Prevent and Reverse Diabetes", by Dr. Barnard, and both books said the same thing. The way to prevent and reverse both diabetes, and heart disease was to eat no meat or dairy and no oil! Even something as simple as a bowl of spaghetti can be laden with tons of oil, so I make 100% whole wheat pasta(Trader Joes makes

Lasagna was not a dish I made a lot when I wasn't vegan, but making it whole-grain and vegan was not only easy, it opened my eyes up to a whole new treasure trove of vegan foods; the seitans!

We used to eat a lot of barbecue chicken and barbecue ribs(There are so many great barbecue sauces out there! (Trader Joes even have 5 or 6 different barbecue sauces and everything that Trader Joes sells with a Trader Joes label is GMO-free) We started eating GMO-free before we started eating vegan. Jack fruit and Seitan both create the feel of meat while you are eating it, so combining the two was twice as tasty! Top these ribs with some tangy cabbage/kale cole slaw and i
