In this episode we sit down with young entrepreneur Rosa Guerrero Contreras. Rosa is a San Jose, CA native, born in Santa Clara, CA and grew up in downtown San Jose. She loves to be in nature, staying active, cooking, singing, dancing, bonfires and generally having a great time. Rosa founded CA Vegan Food Company with this quote in mind by Ella Baker, "This may only be a dream of mine but I think it can be made real." She dreamed of making Vegan food comparable to regular food, to bridge the gap between flesh (animal products) centric eating and health forward plant based eating.
After becoming vegan at a very young age she faced challenges finding good food options and saw the health of some of her very close family members be affected greatly, due to the lack of knowledge around diet. Being a Leader and a very compassionate person Rosa decided to take action and created California Vegan Food Company. A fast growing Vegan food truck and producer of Vegan faux meats. As she calls it, "wheat meat." Rosa has a passion for educating her community and all people on the downfalls of the Standard American Diet aka S.A.D. Diet and also has a passion for educating her Latino community on the downfalls of their traditional diets and wants to teach people how they can still enjoy their cultural cuisine without the health issues. This was an exciting interview and we look forward to you enjoying the show!
