Want To Eat Healthier In 2010?
One of my key goals this month is to cook nutritious meals. In my hunt for a “Cooking Fundamentals” class (recommendations welcome … I don’t think a few semesters of Home Economics with Melba Holmgren counts … as good as she was …), I came across a talk by the author of a kick-arse book that dramatically altered the way I look at what I’m noshing on.
People who eat the most animal-based foods get the most chronic disease. People who eat the most whole plant-based foods are the healthiest and tended to avoid chronic disease.
That’s Dr. T. Colin Campbell, nutrition guru behind the most comprehensive study of health and nutrition ever conducted. Surprised you haven’t heard about it? Well, that’s because agribusiness doesn’t want you to eat more healthfully. What’s in your best interest is not in the best interest of Big Farm.
His talk is February 17th, 6:45p - 9:30p. You can click here to learn more about his live talk “Change Your Diet: Save Your Life”, or click here to investigate his book The China Study.
