Founding member and Director of PBNM.org (Plant Based Nutrition Movement) here in Chicagoland, I am actively involved in promoting the organization's objectives of helping to inform and inspire people as to the power of plant-based nutrition to prevent and even heal some of our most challenging and deadliest chronic diseases. And while our overriding focus is on the impact of a plant-rich diet on personal health, we also recognize the impact dietary patterns have on the environment, on other sentient creatures, and on our global community. We are all in this together, and it's only together that we can survive and thrive.
