What we’re about
The purpose of this group is to support those who are attempting to eat a Whole Food Plant-Based Diet (WFPBD) for a majority of their meals. We have two monthly events: a potluck and a dine-out. We're hoping to add more education, outreach, support, and community events.
The group is peer-led with a focus on education, cooking, shopping, and support as it's difficult to eat a diet that is so different from the mainstream. We are continuing to grow and would love more input and help getting our message out to the community and to healthcare providers.
There is an overwhelming amount of scientific information about the benefits of this diet. A WFPB diet is becoming recognized and reimbursed by the medical community for chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.
A good place to find more info on this diet is the documentary “Forks Over Knives” and their website:
