“THE SWEET VEGAN PRINCESS – COVER FEATURE EDITORIAL”
Welcome Back MODEL KRISTY, congrats on a sublime cover feature for our FEB 2024 VALENTINES EDITION FOR MOLLMAG SOUTH AFRICA, tell us how do you feel right now?
It feels great to reconnect with you! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be working together again!
This month we put the focus on BEING VEGAN AND MAKING THAT VEGAN VALENTINES FESTIVE this #monthoflove for FEBRUARY 2024, Kristy tell us what YOU say is the 3 top tips to make a VEGAN VALENTINES FESTIVE in your opinion #FOODWISE?
- Fresh ingredients (Quality ingredients = quality dish)
- A recipe you know that tastes really good! (Maybe not the best time to experiment with a brand-new recipe)
- Consider dining out if you are not yet experienced with plant-based cooking. (You can practice later.)
Keeping with the VEGAN THEME, Kristy what would you say are 5 benefits of LIVING A VEGAN LIFESTYLE, please share?
Health Benefits: A well-planned vegan diet is rich in essential nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants while typically being lower in saturated fats. This can contribute to better heart health, lower risks of certain diseases such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers, and may aid in weight management.
“It’s important, however, for vegans to ensure they get adequate amounts of all essential nutrients, including vitamin B12, iron, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein, which can be done by eating certain foods and /or supplementation.”
Environmental Sustainability: Vegan diets have a lower environmental footprint compared to diets that include animal products. Producing plant-based foods generally requires less water, land, and energy and results in lower greenhouse gas emissions.
“Remember, reducing the consumption of animal products significantly decreases the demand for resources that contribute to deforestation, habitat loss and biodiversity decline”
Ethical Considerations: Many people choose a vegan lifestyle to align with ethical beliefs concerning animal rights and welfare. Avoiding animal products can be seen as a stance against animal exploitation and the often-inhumane conditions found in many parts of the animal agriculture industry including dairy and seafood production.
Economic Benefits: In some cases, eating a vegan diet can be cost-effective, especially when focusing on whole foods like grains, beans, legumes, vegetables, and fruits, rather than more expensive processed vegan alternatives. Buying seasonal and local produce can also reduce costs.
Promotion of Food Awareness and Diversity: I have found that adopting a vegan diet often encourages people to explore a wider variety of foods and cuisines, increasing their culinary skills and knowledge about nutrition.
“It can also lead to a greater appreciation of the flavors, textures, and nutritional benefits of plant-based foods, contributing to a more mindful and diverse eating experience.”
If there is one message you want to share with your friends and fans about what VALENTINES MONTH / VALENTINES DAY mean to you, what would it be Kristy?
“We are all equal and love is love, no matter what anyone with a myopic view of the world says.”
