TRACY CHILDS

FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR

Tracy is a teacher and co-author with a passion for creating healthy, delicious vegan recipes (with dairy replacement a specialty). With a desire to help the community explore how food choices influence our health, she co-founded her plant-based cooking and nutrition company Veg-Appeal in 2009 and has taught community Food for Life cooking and nutrition classes since 2005. She co-founded PlantDiego after viewing the film PlantPure Nation, seeing the need to continue the movement within San Diego towards using food as medicine. Her goal is helping to educate and inspire our community to move towards healthier, cleaner and more compassionate foods for all reasons including our planet, the animals and through a better sense of belonging to a caring and like-minded community.
