 Find out how easy it is to adopt a lifestyle that can create remarkable, positive results for your own health, and for the world.   
 Did you know that:
  - Many of the most dreaded chronic health conditions that plague American adults and children are not only caused by our diet, but are preventable or even reversible when we change the way we eat?  People with heart disease, certain cancers, type 2 diabetes and many other chronic conditions, are finding their way back to health through whole, plant-based food, not drugs or surgery. 
- Raising and processing animal products, has a greater impact on climate change than our transportation or how we heat our homes?
- The animals we eat are raised in inhumane and unhealthy conditions that cause suffering, and threaten human health as well?  Factory farms raise 99.9 percent of chickens for meat, 97 percent of laying hens, 99 percent of turkeys, 95 percent of pigs, and 78 percent of cattle currently sold in the United States. In addition, humans are depleting our oceans of fish and other marine life, contributing even more to environmental damage and global climate change.
- Even though problems of our world often seem overwhelming, through a simple change in your own life, you can make a real difference.  Come find out how! 
You will learn:
- the latest scientific information on whole food plant-based (WFPB) nutrition and why this optimal plant-based diet is central to chronic disease prevention and control; 
- the impacts of animal/fish agriculture on our environment; 
- the impacts of animal/fish agriculture on animal health and welfare. 
- how to prepare delicious WFPB entrees' through two available chef demonstrations.
You will experience:
