Animal Protein

Cows and horses don’t
eat steaks for their protein needs.
Only greens and grains.

After 35 years of offering vegan dinner meals ten months a year with local, regional, and national speakers, VCC has officially closed. We shut down during Covid, and no one wanted to restart it. I was burned out too. We have done the final tax return and closed the non profit. Hopefully, another group will get going in Canton with the vegan name in it. Thanks for all the love and support. Respectfully, David Kidd

This is a friendly reminder to advocate FOR YOURSELF and to surround yourself with trusted individuals who can help guide you in the direction of truth...leading you to true informed consent before proceeding with a procedure or treatment plan.

Always take your health into your own hands. Nobody cares more about the outcome of your health than you do.

According to two new well-referenced articles most of what we read in medical journals is misleading or inaccurate. Here’s a detailed explanation of why and ...

Do you have the Daily Dozen App? It's so helpful when determining your snacking habits later in the day! Open it up and you see you could use a couple more servings of beans? So, snack on hummus and crackers. Maybe you need reminded to drink more water. Or maybe you need suggestions on how to prepare certain foods, or want to know the benefits of them. It's all in the app.

What's on the daily dozen?
Beans
Berries
Other Fruits
Cruciferous Veggies
Greens
Other Vegetables
Flaxseeds
Nuts and Seeds
Herbs and Spices
Whole Grains
Beverages
Exercise

And finally: Vitamin B12. Do you take a B12 vitamin?

In my book How Not to Die, I center my recommendations around a Daily Dozen checklist of everything I try to fit into my daily routine.

IT'S FRI-YAY!

Let's start the weekend on an educational note. YOU are your greatest advocate. The "healthcare system" we have here in the states is not based on keeping you healthy. That's not to say that doctors and other medical professionals are some sort of proprietors to a big, evil agenda. Good, GREAT, doctors exist. In abundance. But they are paralyzed by "the system" that thrives on keeping you ill.

So, that's where you come in. YOU need to advocate FOR YOU. And the best way to do that is to take your health into your own hands.

If that’s all a healthy plant-based diet could do—reverse the #1 killer of men and women—shouldn’t that be the default diet, until proven otherwise?

Most people think being plant based is difficult. But it's really the easiest, and most delicious, way to enjoy food!

A crowd pleasing recipe at my house with 3 young kids is The Vegan 8's easy ramen! SO yummy and SO versatile!

Make it, and tag The Vegetarian Club of Canton (and Brandi at The Vegan 8)!

A delicious Easy Vegan Ramen Noodle Soup that is actually healthy, vegan, oil-free and full of fresh ingredients like ginger, garlic and green onions!
