Food for Life: Power of Foods for Cancer Prevention and Survival
Food for Life: Power of Foods for Cancer Prevention and Survival
Saturday, May 13th @ Gardenworks
2pm-4pm
Everyone knows someone with cancer, or ten people. The disease has exploded in our society and brings along with it wonders: how, why, what to do. While food alone is neither the cause nor the treatment, it is immensely empowering, fascinating, and awe-some reading through the latest evidence-based medical studies on the clear and unbelievably strong power of plants in the prevention and survival of cancer. Let’s be awed together, discussing and enjoying the tastes of the food prepared.
Every Food for Life class includes a video lecture, discussion and presentation of 3 plant powered recipes. You will also receive recipes, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) literature on the topic and other helpful documents to keep. Our Power of Food for Cancer Prevention and Survival class will include a lecture from Dr. Barnard of George Washington University and the PCRM in Washington D.C. Our class will be filled with insight and empowerment. So looking forward to joining together with you on Saturday, May 13th in person at Gardenworks.
Class includes generous sample sizes of each of the recipes prepared.
Bring a friend and save! 2 people = $25/each
