SPEAKERS:

 

John Robbins, author of ?The Food Revolution? and

?Diet for a New America? has been a leading expert on

the dietary link with the environment and health and

an inspiration to all who meet him or read his books.

He has been recognized nationally and internationally

with the Rachel Carsen Award, the Albert Schweitzer

Humanitarian Award, the Peace Abbey Courage of

Conscience Award and a standing ovation at the United

Nations. He has been featured on TV and in newspapers

all across the country and has turned more Americans

into vegans than any other individual.

Dr. John McDougall (MD), Director of the McDougall

Program at St. Helena Hospital in Napa and the

McDougall Wellness Clinic in Santa Rosa, will speak on

a timely topic ?Eating Slim?. Since 85% of Americans

are overweight with obesity and diabetes in children

is rising astronomically, this is a timely topic. He

authored ?The McDougall Plan,? ?McDougall?s Medicine,?

and ?The McDougall Plan for Women.? His website is

www.drmcdougall.com. His email is

drmcdougall@d... As an outspoken medical

doctor, he speaks with utmost authority on the health

benefits of a low fat vegan diet as part of a healthy

regimen.

 

Bruce Friedrich, as Director of Vegan Outreach for

PETA, was successful in getting McDonald?s, Burger

King, and Wendy?s to adopt animal welfare guidelines.

He has appeared on national TV and in major U.S.

newspapers generating headlines and controversies with

PETA?s www.DumpDairy.com web encouraging college

students to drink beer not milk, www.JesusVeg.com

telling Christians that eating meat ?mocks God?, or

taking on politicians on Capitol Hill encouraging them

to ?Tax Meat?.

Keith Akers will speak on ?Vegetarianism and World

Religions?. He will discuss the spiritual aspect of a

vegetarian diet including the practices of the Essenes

and early Jewish Christians. He is author of ?The Lost

Religion of Jesus: Simple Living and Nonviolence in

Early Christianity? and ?A Vegetarian Sourcebook: The

Nutrition, Ecology, and Ethics of a Natural Foods

Diet?. His website is www.compassionatespirit.com.

Jack Norris, Registered Dietitian and Director of

Vegan Outreach, has been advocating a vegan diet at

280 colleges in 44 states distributing ?Why Vegan?? to

hundreds of students during a two year tour. His most

recent paper on staying healthy as a vegan can be

found at www.veganoutreach.org/health/stayinghealthy.

 

Lauren Ornelas, Campaign Director for VIVA USA, was

the International Campaign Coordinator for In Defense

of Animals. Presently, under her direction at VIVA,

they have successfully persuaded Whole Foods, Trader

Joe?s, and Wild Oats to suspend purchasing duck meat

from Maple Leaf Farms. The recent campaign ?When Pigs

Cry? exposes the cruelty of factory farming and

Honeybaked Hams. VIVA also has been working with

students to veganize their school cafeterias.

 

Organic Farmer, David Blume, will lead a workshop on

?Living Organically?. He is President of the

International Institute for Ecological Agriculture, of courses on ?Permaculture? (Ecological

Design) and ?Alcohol Fuel Production for Autos?, and a

very popular speaker.

INTERNATIONAL FOOD DEMONSTRATIONS

 

All of our food demos will include recipes and

samples. In addition to an ?Easy Vegan Cooking Demo?

for beginners, there will be ?Indian Cuisine? by

Shanta Nimbark Sacharoff, author of ?Flavors of

India?; ?African Diaspora? lecture & cooking by

Tiffany Golden, Chef & Instructor, with Shirley

Lampkin, R.N. & PhD candidate; ?Cooking Chinese Style?

by Erhhung Yuan who will teach the basics; ?Enzymes &

Raw Food? lecture & demo by Jordan Rothstein; and

?Delicious Raw Demo? by Robert Angell and Emily

Toback, a breast cancer survivor on a raw food diet.

 

?CAFÉ INTERNATIONAL?

 

A new feature this year is our ?Café International?

with tables for leisurely vegetarian dining while

watching live performances.

 

WORLD ENTERTAINMENT

 

Vegetarian artists, musicians, and middle eastern

dancers will be performing throughout the day.

Featured performer,

Wayne Huey, is a Chinese trained acrobat who has

performed in China and the U.S., including Las Vegas,

Disneyland, and on National TV. His breathtaking feats

never fail to awe his audiences, young and old alike.

Another favorite is Lorraine Bowser, African dancer,

drummer, and director of Bana Ya Kongo (children of

the Congo). Their colorful costumes and rhythmical

movement bring joy and happiness as they express

everyday life and religion through movement, song, and

the drum beat, the heart beat of the Congo. Jimmy

Effird and the Nightingales will also be performing.

 

Many thanks to our Sponsor, Varnashram, and to our

Planning Committee Contributors: T.G. Barnhill, Carla

Bauer, Joseph Cadiz, Alka Chandna, Jennifer Doob,
