Best Present Ever! Jessica Chastain Buys Her Mom a Vegan Food Truck

If somebody were to pick out a present for you right now, what would it be? How about an entire vegan food truck? That’s what’s actress Jessica Chastain did for her mom. Best present ever!

After the actresses’ mother visited her for two weeks in Los Angeles, she felt so good that she apparently wanted to eat vegan food more often. Chastain had taken a two-week cooking course, and became so inspired that she turned her mother onto vegan food. After the visit with her daughter, Chastain’s mother became a certified healthy chef and opened her own business in San Francisco!

The actress told The San Francisco Gate that her mother, ” just ate the food that I was eating and she felt so good she went back home and there weren’t any restaurants for her, so she was like, ‘Y’know what, I’m gonna open a restaurant,’ and she became a vegan chef and she’s really good.” So, she bought her a food truck!

As Green Monsters, we know that being too preachy is not going to help our cause in turning on other people to plant-based eating. One of the best ways to get your family and friends and family to eat more like you is to share the food that you cook with them, just like what Chastain did. Let them see how delicious it is. As a bonus, they’ll experience how great and healthy they feel when eating all veg! How can anyone not want to eat more plan-based after experiencing the benefits first hand?
