It’s #LunchBreakLive!! In this episode we are making JAKE’S BBQ SOY CURLS, with his finger lickn’ homemade sauce, plus a tasty Mac & Cheese and Coleslaw! Join Chelsea V Davis aka Veggies Do It Better, a non-stop committed animal rights activist, along with her former-hunter-gone-ethical-vegan husband Jake Vaage, athlete, health and wellness entrepreneur!

Longtime vegan, community organizer, and entrepreneur, Chelsea V Davis aka Veggies Do It Better loves how vegan advocacy is a beautiful way of incorporating all the issues she is passionate about… animal rights, health, sustainability, social and food justice, and compassion. Over the last 10 years, Chelsea has organized over 100 vegan events ranging from protests to marches, VegFests to international conferences, activist panels to fundraisers and that’s just the beginning! Chelsea’s focus on collaboration and community building brought her to launching the new Animal Rights Collective Portland (ARCPDX), Virtual Vegan Night Market Portland, and #VeganTipsTuesday. Her passion for nutrition and fitness also led her to start a health and wellness business with Jake last summer. They love helping people live healthier lives through nutrition, kindness, and non-toxic earth-friendly products. They also donate a large portion of their profits. This month 50% of all their sales will be donated to The Innocence Project and Boris L Henson Foundation. ♥️ Contact Chelsea directly for more info or visit ChelseaVDavis.Arbonne.com.

Growing up, hunting, fishing, and eating animals was in the framework of Jake’s family. Then in late 2015, he met Chelsea! At the beginning of 2016, Jake did a 22-day vegan challenge that changed his life. He lost 7 pounds, his skin cleared up, and he started sleeping more efficiently. Following the challenge, he stopped eating factory-farmed animals and not too long after that, he stopped hunting and fishing and became a passionate vegan advocate, animal rights activist, and athlete. Shows how anyone has the power to change!  In recent years, Jake has been getting nerdier about proper nutrition and peak performance leading him and Chelsea to start a health and wellness business.
