Are you interested in adopting a whole-food plant-based lifestyle, or just adding more plants to your diet? In this course we will learn how choosing to “plant-power” our lives can help prevent and reverse chronic disease while reducing our carbon footprint and the harm caused to other living creatures. Sessions will be interactive, featuring film, video, and hands-on exercises as we learn how to shop economically, interpret food labels, track daily consumption of plant-based foods, modify traditional recipes, identify where and how to eat out, food-prep to save time, and prepare quick and healthy meals with minimum effort. LIMIT 16
