DESCRIPTION: For the harried and busy urban dweller, embracing a lifestyle that favors fresh over processed, home-cooked over fast food takeout, or local- and seasonal - versus imported, is more often an aspiration than an actual adoption. The good news is that converting to this affordable, healthier and planet-friendly lifestyle is much easier to achieve than is commonly perceived. Bryant Terry will have an interactive discussion about ways you can easily create a green kitchen and share ideas about how our food choices affect food production, food security, and the economic well-being of small farmers.

2:15 - 3:30 -- John Robbins -- "The Agony and Ecstacy of Our Times "
DESCRIPTION: We are living in times of unprecedented loss and destruction, in the face of which it can seem that nothing we do is nearly enough.  Is it possible to live with this pain so that it becomes a force?  So that we become more alive than afraid?  Is it possible for our grief to become a source of passion, power and creativity?  For our despair to awaken new life in us, and for our love and wisdom to become the dominant energy of our lives?  This workshop is about facing the pain of our times, and responding with vitality, compassion, and, yes, even joy.

3:45 - 5:00 -- Joel Fuhrman, MD -- "Good Cop, Bad Cop, The Value of High Fat Foods"

Esselstyn, Jr., a former internationally known surgeon, researcher and clinician at the Cleveland Clinic, explains, it can be prevented, reversed, and even abolished.
