Vegan Month and Thanksgiving, Oh the Irony!

Family enjoying a vegan meal during Thanksgiving

In November, we celebrate Thanksgiving … and ironically, World Vegan Month. Most people throw health out the window during the holidays. Instead, use this month to think about what you’re putting in your body. Animal products can have detrimental effects on your health, especially your cardiovascular system. However, sugar and some processed foods are considered vegan, which isn’t healthy either.

Focus on eating whole foods – fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, and no sugar and little to no meat. In honor of this month, try this paleo-inspired stuffing, excluding the pancetta and tablespoon of butter, for a heart-healthy vegan version.
