It was a fun day last year when my second grader came home from school to tell me about what had happened during lunch that day.

He'd been eating red lentil nuggets (like chicken nuggets only made with lentils) for lunch that day and his teacher asked about them.

He told her we eat mostly plants and she shared she was working on eating plant-based too. He was so excited to have a fellow plant-eater and that she wanted to know more about what he was doing.

Kiana Benson was 25 when she was diagnosed with diabetes. Finding that the medication she was given to manage it made her very sick, she decided to see what she could do with diet and lifestyle.

After landing on whole food, plant-based eating she's been able to cut her A1C in half and is feeling great.
