Our Spring Dinner
with guest speaker Robert Cohen
Posted on Monday April 12, 2010 2:26 am
We had a good turnout of over 80 people for our dinner on April the 10th and it was one of my favorite dinners in a long, long time, well, since the last one anyway.
Robert Cohen is an expert, perhaps the world's foremost authority on every aspect and impact of Dairy Products on human health, the environment, how the dairy industy manipulates society and politics. He gave a talk that I'm sure was eye-opening to many people. And he was funny at times. It takes a master like Robert to expose all that's wrong with our food system and still make us laugh.
BTW, the vegan buffet at Lancer's East was very tasty. There were three different salads, a fruit tray, a rice and broccoli dish, Ratouille, rosemary potatoes, a vegetarian lasagne. You should have been there.
After that great dinner...
Robert, author of the book Milk, the Deadly Poison, gave what I hope many who attended will remember as a life-changing talk. The cause and cure of most life threatening diseases is of concern to most of us who will get diseases and die. (were you expecting a few magic words at the 'read more' link? lol.) Robert challenged people at the dinner to try an Eight Day Experiment. Don't eat any, ANY dairy products for 7 days. That also means no whey ingredient in any processed food, no casein, no dairy at all. Then on the seventh day, see how you feel. Do you feel less congested? Do you feel lighter? Just honestly access how you feel. Then for the eighth day EAT cheese pizza for lunch and ice cream for dessert. And then notice how you feel the next morning. If your symptoms are more than you can handle alone, please give the Vegetarian Society of El Paso a call, Sukie at 877-3030 or Greg at 532-7273 and the answer to the question from the front page.... go vegan, stop eating all animal products, then spend just a little time thinking about it all. Spend some time at www.notmilk.com and learn some stuff.
