Announcement - George Eisman RD to speak Summit, NJ

[Guest guest]

Hello Folks,

 

If any one is in the Summit, NJ area and interested in hearing a very engaging

veg*n dieticition, talk, please look at the following press release.

 

Diet for a Better World and a Healthier You: 

Unitarian Ethical Eating Group Hosts a Forum May 16

 

 

     Registered dietitian and nationally known author George Eisman will speak

on A Diet for a Better World and a Healthier You on Saturday afternoon, May 16,

at The Unitarian Church in Summit, 4 Waldron Ave. (at Springfield Avenue).  

     The forum, sponsored by the church's Ethical Eating Group, will begin at 2

p.m. It is free and open to the public.

     The program will confront the misconception that an environmentally

friendly diet without meat and other animal products lacks the protein and other

nutrients needed for general good health and to fight diseases like cancer.  The

speaker's books, The Most Noble Diet: Food Selection and Ethics and Don't Let

Your Diet Add to Your Cancer Risk, address this fear and show how health is

positively affected by shifting to a vegetarian diet.  

     George Eisman is the founder of the Association of Vegetarian Dietitians

and Nutrition Educators and co-founder and first Chairman-Elect of the American

Dietetic Association's Vegetarian Nutrition Practice Group.  He has taught

nutrition at the university level for more than 20 years and has served as a

Public Health Nutritionist for the State Health Departments of Florida, Georgia

and North Carolina.

 

     After the presentation, Eisman will take questions from the audience.

 Healthy refreshments will be served.

    The Unitarian Church in Summit draws members from various religious

and cultural backgrounds who join together in their individual quests for truth

and meaning.  There is no creed or test of membership, but the community

is bound together by principles, shared values and a desire to serve. We are

a member congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association of

Congregations.    

       The UU Ethical Eating Study Group was formed this year to study how the

substances we put in our bodies affect our ecosystems, world hunger, social

inequity, animal welfare, and climate change.
