After Jamaal Kelly had a minor health scare, his wife Lisa revamped their diet. After he returned from the hospital, he discovered that she had thrown out all their food and that they were vegan.
After Jamaal lost 70 pounds in three months, friends took interest in their new diet, so Lisa started cooking for other people as well. That led the couple to open a food truck, “Vegan Treats, Meats and Eats,” including everything from mac and cheese to chicken wings.
