The Back Story- Where Healing Meets Flavor
FoodAMed Vegan Restaurant was born out of a doctor’s desire and determination to stop or reduce the incidence of chronic disease using healthy nutrition. In 2010 Dr. Dona Cooper-Dockery, a practicing internist, realized that those suffering from diabetes, elevated cholesterol or heart disease would continue to have complications, despite being prescribed “the best drugs for chronic diseases”, and that she could do more for her patients through healthy lifestyle education, than medications alone.
FoodAMed Caters Meals for Former President Clinton
“We are delighted to have had the opportunity to cater a private dinner for former President Bill Clinton. As a vegan restaurant, we were thrilled to provide delicious and nutritious plant-based dishes for President Clinton and his guests. President Clinton has long been a advocate for plant-based diets and sustainable food systems, and we are honored to have had the chance to support his commitment to healthy and environmentally-friendly eating. We are grateful for the opportunity to have served President Clinton and we hope that he enjoyed the dining experience that we provided.”
Make the Thing – Anything Is Possible
Despite the fact that patients were now learning how to prepare healthier meals at cooking classes, they wanted to have these meals prepared for them thus giving them easier access to tasty, healthy meals that would positively impact their overall health. Out of this demand, FoodAMed Vegan Restaurant was later established in December 2018, to give the entire community of RGV access to using food as medicine.
