Personally growing up and even now I don't pay attention to my health or nutrition intake. Growing up I can remember I have a strong hate for anything green, even green Jello (I loved Jello). I would hold sit in as the dinner table where I would wait out my parent's patients. I was a very thin girl (still am) and this was a concern when most people looked at me.
They saw someone who was too skinny. I was told to "Eat More" and "Eat More Greens and Vegetables". When I first had the thoughts of becoming vegetarian I wanted to help save animals but didn't want to have to eat vegetables nor give up meat. It wasn't until many year later when I learned to eat my vegetables and becoming vegan didn't meat I had to give up the meals I love (with meat alternatives). And after almost 3 years of giving up meat and dairy, I am healthy now then I was before the change.
I am excited to hear Dr Tushar Mehta's talk and learn all about the health benefits of the vegan lifestyles on the body.
I hope I see you there.
