Hello everyone! I wanted to let you all know that this year's Metro Detroit Great American Meatout will be held at Ferndale High School (881 Pinecrest in Ferndale) -- on Sunday, April 13 from noon - 5 pm. Admission is $10 adults, $5 students, children under 6 and VegMichigan members free. For discounted admission and schedule details, visit www.vegmichigan.org/meatout

I will have a table set up there and I will be performing a food demo/talk.

Heading the speaker lineup are Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, celebrated author of The Joy of Vegan Baking, who is also a columnist at VegNews magazine, podcast host and founder of Compassionate Cooks, on debunking the myths of a plant-based diet and being vegan in a non-vegan world; and Milton Mills, MD, associate director of preventive medicine for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) in Washington, D.C. who lectures on the impact of meat and dairy consumption on human health and also specializes in race and diet. There will be eight other speakers, plenty of delicious food, cooking demos, exhibitors, fun people, and information.
Please think about bringing a family member or friend who would be interested in learning more about the health, environmental, and ethical reasons to become vegetarian or at least to cut back on meat. Everyone probably knows people who have expressed either an interest in becoming vegetarian, cutting back on meat consumption, or the need to overcome health concerns which a vegan diet would address. The Meatout is a perfect low-pressure opportunity to expose them to the benefits of a plant-based, cruelty-free diet.

Hope to see you there!

With great joy we spend the day together preparing a variety of raw food dishes, discussing how to shop for raw foods and how to set up your kitchen, all the while discussing the basics the raw and living food diet. You will leave this class inspired and motivated to begin incorporating more raw food into your diet and confident in your ability to make delicious raw food meals.
