Imagine a world where all beings are free from suffering and exploitation. Where our food system is sustainable and doesn&#39;t harm the environment. Where everyone has access to healthy and nutritious food. This is the world that vegans are working towards.<br /><br />In my first book, I introduced you to the concept of veganism and my personal journey to veganism. Although the term &quot;vegan&quot; was new to me at the time, the way of life wasn&#39;t. The ancient Egyptians and the Ma&#39;di people of South Sudan and Uganda have lived a vegan lifestyle for centuries.<br /><br />In this second book, I will take you on a deeper journey into the vegan lifestyle, exploring its history, ethics, environmental impact, and health benefits. I am particularly passionate about the health benefits of veganism, and I believe that it is one of the best ways to care for a newborn baby.<br /><br />In Chapter 4, I will discuss how the Ma&#39;di people cared for their newborn babies, ensuring that they got the nutrients that are essential for the baby&#39;s development. I will also share a recipe for a Ma&#39;di weaning food that is both nutritious and delicious.<br /><br />I will also draw on the Ma&#39;di way of life to illustrate how a vegan lifestyle can be both healthy and sustainable. The Ma&#39;di people have traditionally followed a plant-based diet, and they are known for their longevity and good health. To help you get started on your own vegan journey, I will provide you with a 21-day meal plan that is inspired by the Ma&#39;di diet. You will get to experiment with different foods and find what works best for you.<br /><br />In this book, you will learn about the following:<ul> <li>The history of veganism and its evolution over time</li> <li>The ethical arguments for veganism, including the importance of animal sentience and rights</li> <li>The environmental impact of animal agriculture and the benefits of a plant-based diet</li> <li>The health benefits of a vegan diet, including reduced risk of chronic diseases, improved weight management, and enhanced digestive health</li> <li>The social and cultural impact of veganism, including its growing popularity and influence</li></ul><br /><b>Personal Story</b><br />In 2001, I gave birth to my second born and decided to adopt the type of feeding conducted among the Ma&#39;di people and follow their style of care for my son. I decided that he would be on exclusive breast milk for 6 months. I decided no soap on the baby&#39;s body for 1 year, only applying Sudanese manufactured sesame oil for his body. When he was 6 months, I introduced him to Ma&#39;di porridge made from fermented millet dough, peanut butter and sugar.<br /><br />Now that my sons are grown, they are not living a vegan life but from time to time they practice veganism. One time my older son went vegan for a month before giving up. The interesting bit is that when we choose to eat together they eat vegan with me and when doing shopping they buy vegan products for me.<br /><br />I hope that this book will inspire you to embrace a vegan lifestyle and to join me in creating a more compassionate, sustainable, and healthy world for all, especially for our newborn babies.
