Avocados are a versatile, nutritiously-
concentrated raw superfood
I've always regarded avocados as this kind of magical food. I may not be a nutritionist, but I enjoy foods that come in natural containers, rinds, peels, etc. Like many vegans, I also enjoy the tastiness and high polyunsaturated fat content of this berry fruit.
Avocado Recipes for Diabetes
Couple this with the magical benefits of the dietary component of veganism for diabetes. According to this article in the New York Times, several experts will be meeting in the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City to show how a vegan diet can actually reverse diabetes.
Among the invited speakers is vegan chef Jason Wyrick who was diagnosed with Type II diabetes not ten years ago. Check out the article to find Wyrick's diabetic-friendly avocado recipes.
While veganism is an inherently ethical way of living, we can show our peers the overflowing list of benefits to our health and the environment. However, I encourage vegan educators to resist using these factors to cover up the core issue of animal rights. "Selling principles" are often used as excuses to completely avoid having a dialogue about animals. Unfortunately, the fundamental concept of human-nonhuman relations is completely avoided as well in each such instance.
Go vegan. It's easy and better for your health and for the planet. But, most importantly, it's the morally right thing to do.
