Faithful Plateful is a site created by Faith, who came to plant-based diet through a combination of shared experience, study, and faith. She’s pretty young, if the account posted on her website is current; she doesn’t have any health problems and she wants to keep it that way for herself and her family. When she was a teenager, her grandparents had chronic diseases which the family attempted to learn about and help with. Faith’s mom read a book by Joel Fuhrman, MD and shared it with Faith, who went on to read more books and watch some documentaries. She says: Through both study and my feelings, I became quite convinced that this was the healthiest way to eat.

\Reading that sentence made me pause. That’s pretty amazing, isn’t it? It shows both the ability to be receptive to new information, and the ability to tap into one’s own deep and honest instincts, to come up with a plan and an approach.

Faith also, in evaluating all the competing nutritional claims out there, turned to her religious faith. “I’ve turned to God and His word. As the Creator of our bodies surely He, and only He, knows best how to care for them. I’ve felt that it is pleasing to both Him and our health to … focus on eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, and seeds.”

There are loads of recipes here, and most of them would be crowd-pleasers (many are specifically “Kids Favorites”) with a mouth-watering photo to accompany each recipe.
