Is your New Year’s resolution to eat healthier food and/or reduce your environmental impact? Let the UU Plant-Based Eating Club help! We are hosting a group read of The Engine 2 Seven-Day Rescue Diet: Eat Plants, Lose Weight, Save Your Health, by Rip Esselstyn. Available at the Newton Free Library, this book features the interesting story of how a group of firefighters in Texas decided to try plant-based eating in order to improve their health. The results may surprise you, and the book is also a treasure trove of healthy, easy-to-make, plant-based recipes. We will discuss Chapters 1-4 and 8-9 in January and the remainder of the book in March. The January meetings will be held on Thursday, January 12 at 7PM by Zoom (register here) and on Friday, January 20 at 7PM in person at a member’s home in Newton Center (please email UU-Plant-Based-contact-us@googlegroups.com for more information or to RSVP). Feel free to attend one or both.
The UU Plant-Based Eating Club is a group of around 50 people who desire to learn about and eat more nutritious and delicious meals together using plant-based whole foods. Members are primarily interested in learning how to prepare truly delicious, plant-based, healthy meals and sharing the joys of eating with others from our local UU community. We are all exploring the powerful ways food can sustain and improve the health and vitality of people and the planet. You are welcome to join us no matter what your dietary and religious practices are, as long as you are interested in supporting other group members in their pursuit of a whole food, plant-based lifestyle and are considering it for yourself whether in whole or in part. Non-UUs and non-vegans are welcome!
