A Note From Our Founder on the Power of Plant-Based Foods

The Power of Plant-Based Foods 

Tara here, Founder of Rawcology! Sometimes following a healthy lifestyle looks like eating salad like this 👆, other times it looks like indulging in a decadent (refined sugar free) dessert. I started Rawcology because I wanted to inspire others to eat + cook nourishing, whole foods. 🌱

Finding Relief from Anxiety

Years ago as a young twenty-something trying to navigate living a purposeful life, I struggled with my mental health + intense feelings of fear, anxiety + fatigue dominated. Taking cooking courses became a creative outlet for me at this time + soon blossomed into a passion of mine. As I began the process to heal myself holistically, I became increasingly curious about nutrition, healing foods + changed my diet by eliminating white sugar (+ reducing sugar consumption in general), along with processed foods. These changes, as well as eating more nourishing foods, + having an outlet like cooking to appreciate the beauty in whole foods, altered my life. I changed career paths, went to holistic nutrition school, became a certified raw food chef + initially started Rawcology by leading nutrition + cooking workshops. It led to a job developing cooking courses at George Brown’s Culinary School but ultimately, I believed I could have greater personal impact in changing people’s diets by creating healthier packaged food products. I was frustrated with the lack of truly healthy + delicious products available + wanted to be part of the change for the better. 👊

Power of Plant-Based Foods

I believe opting for more plant-based foods has immense positive impact on climate change we all need to consider, I believe in supporting organic foods (as organic farming doesn’t use pesticides, chemicals or genetically modified seeds to grow crops), + I believe that our relationship with food can be simple when we focus on nourishing, whole foods. I hope to nourish you all for years to come + I’m excited to continue coming up with innovative products that are plant-based, certified organic, low sugar, allergen friendly + made with whole food ingredients.
