Healthy Eats: The January Issue of the Vegan Culinary Experience is Now …
January 2012 – It’s that time again … Chef Jason Wyrick has just released a new issue of his free e-magazine, Vegan Culinary Experience! In this issue, you will find over 35 recipes that cover a range of healthy vegan philosophies and articles that talk about vegan health issues.
This month’s “healthy” theme is very close to Chef Jason Wyrick’s heart, as he shares a little piece of his own story and why he started the Vegan Culinary Experience:
“Ten years ago, I was diagnosed with diabetes. If anything like that has ever happened to you, you know that it can be frightening, shameful, and daunting. I knew I had done it to myself, but being told to take medication for the rest of my life before I was even 30 was not something to which I was willing to acquiesce.
I was lucky enough to know that a low-fat vegan diet was being used by several physicians to completely reverse diabetes and I was even luckier, because someone very dear to me had done just that a couple months before I was diagnosed. I waffled and grumbled for about a week before committing to going from vegetarian to vegan and I have never looked back. My diabetes reversed in just eight months and during that time, I learned about the ethical issues of factory farming. Both health and ethics is why I stay vegan to this day and is also why I became a chef and subsequently a publisher of the magazine you have in front of you.
Along the way, I met other people who had reversed major health issues through other means, all of which were vegan, but not all were the same. I met people who had reversed diabetes and heart disease on a raw foods diet, those who had lost massive amounts of weight on gluten-free diets, macrobiotic eaters, and a host of others. Yet, there was one common theme that really stuck out to me. Food matters. Not just from a health standpoint, but a psychology standpoint.
Sure, there are those people who can make a smoothie out of a banana and water and be satisfied with it, but those people are completely alien to me. I knew if the food wasn’t outstanding, I wasn’t going to stick with the dietary change, even though my health depended on it. I was a bit ashamed of that, but that’s the way it was. Like I said, food matters.
You can’t just treat the physiology of a patient, you have to treat the psychology as well. That’s why good vegan recipes and good vegan chefs are so important. We treat the psychology of those who want to make a healthy dietary change. At least, the ones who love good food, and if you are reading a culinary magazine, I will assume that includes you! To all the people out there who have reversed a serious health problem by going vegan, are doing it right now, or want to do it, and still want to eat outstanding food, this issue is dedicated to you.”
