U.S. Veg Corp to Present Dr. Michael Greger
New York, NY, February 22, 2012 --(PR.com)-- New York City’s second annual Vegetarian Food Festival will get underway the weekend of March 3-4, at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan. In addition to vegan vendors and entertainers, there will be a bevy of energetic speakers revealing their tips for living a blissful vegan life. Here’s a little Q&A with one of the experts whom festival-goers will be listening to.
A founding member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, Dr. Michael Greger is a physician, author, and internationally recognized speaker on nutrition, food safety, and public health issues. He has lectured at the Conference on World Affairs, the International Bird Flu Summit, and the National Institutes of Health. He is a graduate of Cornell University School of Agriculture and Tufts University School of Medicine. Currently Dr. Greger serves as the Director of Public Health and Animal Agriculture at the Humane Society Institute of Science and Policy, Humane Society of the United States.
U.S. Veg Corp: “What brought you to the vegan lifestyle?”
Dr. Greger: “The dramatic reversal of terminal heart disease in my family is what turned me around. For my story, see http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/resuscitating-medicare.”
U.S. Veg Corp: “If there were one fact that you could tell everyone regarding the choice of going veg, what would that be?”
Dr. Greger: “It can prevent, treat, and even reverse our #1 killer, heart disease. See http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/our-number-one-killer-can-be-stopped.”
U.S. Veg Corp: “Nobody’s perfect. Have you had any setbacks in your veg journey?”
Dr. Greger: “For a time I was eating a lot of processed junk. Eating healthy isn't just about avoiding the bad stuff--cholesterol, saturated and trans fats--but about eating more of the good stuff, like fiber and phytonutrients found in whole plant foods.”
U.S. Veg Corp: “Describe your perfect meal.”
Dr. Greger: “One that is bursting with flavor and color--ideally with beans, greens, and lots of hot sauce.”
U.S. Veg Corp: “Do you get the impression that your message is being embraced?”
“I don't need impressions--I have google analytics! :) I have been delighted by the overwhelming response to my new website, www.NutritionFacts.org, the first non-commercial, science-based website to provide free daily video updates on the latest in nutrition research. It's so heartening to be able to reach people around the world with my body of nutrition work. That's what inspires me to keep up the pace and upload a new video every day.”
Dr. Greger’s presentation at the Festival will take place on Saturday, March 3, 2-3 p.m. He will talk on “The Latest in Human Nutrition.”
