Where it all started….
In August 2024, during a Daniel fast with Transformation Church, my life changed deeply and profoundly. That’s when my dedicated plant-based journey truly started. I spent the entire first year mostly cooking at home, carefully learning about whole-food plant-based eating and nutrition. As my family and I began eating out more, I quickly realized it was surprisingly hard to find genuinely real and authentic vegan meals. I encountered so-called “veggie burgers” that contained chicken stock, and tofu dishes that were soaked in fish oil, making them not truly vegan at all. I had to spend countless hours researching and asking restaurant staff just to get a meal that was truly vegan and plant-based. Then, one morning while swimming and deeply reflecting, God revealed the solution, and Vegan@ was born.
Daniel 1:12-17 NIV
12 “Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.” 14 So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.
15 At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. 16 So the guard took away their choice food and wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead.
17 To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds.
