Upcoming Food for Life – Kickstart Your Health

A plant-based diet of whole grains, beans, vegetables and fruits can help prevent diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, some cancers, and other chronic diseases. This program, based on the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine’s successful 21-day Vegan Kickstart program, is about making a qualitative shift in the way we eat as opposed to a quantitative shift. Depending on one’s perspective, the Kickstart is about losing weight, maintaining a healthy weight, or simply embracing an overall healthful diet. Each two-hour class features a video, discussion, cooking demonstration and the opportunity to taste some delicious plant-based dishes. This 7-week class will have five in-person sessions, and two optional zoom sessions. $60 fee for all five classes. In person classes Mondays, 5/6, 5/13, 6/3, 6/10, 6/17 10:00 am – noon TSC Auditorium.
