Fwd: T. Colin Campbell Foundation Helps Promote Plant based Nutrition [excerpts from fundraising letter]

[Guest guest]

We are delighted to have launched our new website for the T. Colin

Campbell Foundation, a foundation whose mission is to further

education in nutrition that emphasizes the exceptional health

benefits

of consuming plant-based foods.

 

Among other endeavors, the two most prominent projects at present

are

 

(1) a curriculum of accredited on-line courses on plant-based

nutrition hosted by eCornell, Inc., an online educational

company

wholly-owned by Cornell University.

The course contains lectures adapted from a highly

successful course previously offered for undergraduate credit in

Cornell's Department of Nutritional Sciences. The first offering

was

sold out in only two weeks, and subsequent course discussions were

the

most active ever experienced by eCornell in their company

history.

 

(2) a social networking site

for individuals (both patients and survivors) diagnosed with a

significant diseases who desire to share their experiences in using

a

plant-based diet. The

online network at its launch has over 300 people waiting to share

their success stories of reversing cancer, heart disease,

diabetes,

and a host of other illnesses.

 

Educating the public on the value of a plant-based

diet is an immediate and direct way to mitigate some of major

problems

that now beset our country and the world community, problems such

as

control of health care costs, several major environmental crises,

and

unnecessary violence.
