Learning Objectives

• In my book "Tasting Life the Vegetarian Way!" (offered in segmented PDF chapters), I share my journey with environmental illness, which inspired me to explore the path of vegetarianism. You’ll learn about the vegetarian meals that I taught myself how to prepare, which helped to restore my health and develop a healthy relationship with my body, the earth, my kitchen, and my culinary tools.
• You'll learn about the rich history of vegetarian foodways and gain some very eye-opening insights about the Original 12 Food Groups and the political influences that narrowed them down to four food groups, in order to support the financial interests of big Agriculture.
• You'll also make an acquaintance with the Vegetarian and Vegan Eating Models, including the food groups it promotes your consumption of. You’ll learn how you can transition to a vegetarian diet in 3 easy steps and explore whether or not veganism is for you.
• For those of you who have an interest in talking with groups about the vegetarian lifestyle, I have created two sample correspondence letters that you can send to persons at schools, organizations, and churches (think youth groups) who are in charge of arranging speaking gigs.
• Learn about how health, environmental degradation, hunger, economics, conservation, climate change, religion, and spirituality are driving the interest in plant-based eating. Find the books, information pamphlets, and other tools you'll want to have on hand to be an eco-conscious eating advocate!
• You'll get access to talking scripts. What took me hours to research and prepare, will save you tons of time and energy, when it comes to getting a talk and presentation ready for family members, neighbors, or a group.
