Watch this wild race for the record books unfold in Los Angeles! Chef Supreme Dow, U.S. Army veteran and founder of the Harvest Academy, marshaled the vegan community to deliver more than 1,000 vegan meals in less than an hour in order to enter the Guinness Book of World Records. He selected Estrada Courts, a quiet and well-tended housing project, in the Boyle Heights section of Los Angeles, as ground zero for his quest. Chef Supreme is on a mission to deliver healthy, plant-based meals to everyone who needs them, considering healthy, sustainable, cruelty-free food to be an essential right, like air and water. Consider this dramatic exercise a demonstration of how it might be done on an even greater scale. Dozens of vegans converged to volunteer. The vegan nonprofit GenV was one of the lead sponsors, along with Beyond Meat, the vegan plant-based protein company that donated a huge supply of Beyond Meat sausages. The meal to set the record was vegan meatloaf, Spanish Rice, kale salad and a cookie. SheRise Ford, of Six Foot Publicist, spread the word. GoDharmic and the Boys & Girls Club of San Gabriel Valley & Eastside helped make it happen. UnchainedTV's media team was out in force: Social Media director Michelle Celestino on Instagram LIVE, volunteer reporter Anthony Shale on TikTok LIVE and UnchainedTV founder Jane Velez-Mitchell on video to memorialize this history-making event. The volunteer crew included: Cesar Asebedo, Paige Parsons Roache, Kim Delgado, Jocelyn Lopez, Chef Chris Tucker, Samantha Lao, artist C5, and GenV's Jamie Logan and Naomi Hallum, among others. Honestly, too many people came together to count. But, the result was magical. Watch and you will see. Also, check out:
