‍⁢ Tabitha Brown’s journey into veganism didn’t begin ​with a lofty mission to save the ‍planet or ⁣protect animals. Instead, it⁣ was a⁣ bite of a TTLA sandwich from ​Whole Foods that set the wheels in motion. As she devoured the tempeh bacon, avocado delight, she felt compelled to share her new find with her followers.⁣ Instinctively,​ she‍ filmed herself reviewing the sandwich in her car and uploaded it online. Little did she know, ⁢this casual ⁤video would⁤ become⁣ a sensation, racking‌ up tens of thousands of views overnight. It was her first taste⁢ of virality, and it urged her to spread the vegan gospel further.

The turning‍ point came when her teenage daughter introduced her ⁢to⁤ a documentary that debunked myths about hereditary diseases, emphasizing the role of diet. Hearing that these diseases were linked to dietary patterns resonated profoundly with Tabitha, who had lost her ⁢mother to ALS‌ and seen other members of ⁣her family struggle with health issues. She decided to take on a 30-day challenge‌ to‌ eliminate meat from her diet,⁣ hoping to break the familial curse. By day 30, she was convinced. The sandwich may have started it, but the realization cemented her path, making veganism a way of⁤ life.
