This is a VEGAN, RAW, PLANT BASED Food  Tasting Event. We support our attendees with transitioning into a Healthier Eating Lifestyle. The Veggie Taste is used as a tool to expose and educate the importance of changing over to a Plant Based, Raw, or Vegan Food way of eating. Some will perceive to eat this way is only for an Elite group of people however that is not the case. Eating healthy is for all classes of economic groups and can be very affordable and cost effective depending on where you shop. Great affordable places to start are Outdoor Farmers Market's, Aldis, Korean Markets and Trader Joe's.

SOME HEALTH FACTS FROM THE VEGAN SOCIETY! 
For your health Well-planned vegan diets follow healthy eating guidelines, and contain all the nutrients that our bodies need. Both the British Dietetic Association and the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recognize that they are suitable for every age and stage of life. Some research has linked vegan diets with lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and lower rates of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer.
Going vegan is a great opportunity to learn more about nutrition and cooking, and improve your diet. Getting your nutrients from plant foods allows more room in your diet for health-promoting options like whole grains, fruit, nuts, seeds and vegetables, which are packed full of beneficial fiber, vitamins and minerals.
For peopleJust like veganism is the sustainable option when it comes to looking after our planet, plant-based living is also a more sustainable way of feeding the human family. A plant-based diet requires only one third of the land needed to support a meat and dairy diet. With rising global food and water insecurity due to a myriad of environmental and socio-economic problems, there's never been a better time to adopt a more sustainable way of living. Avoiding animal products is not just one of the simplest ways an individual can reduce the strain on food as well as other resources.
