The Way of the
Kitchen, or Eating to Change the World
How to achieve
good health and reform the world, all from the humble dinner table.
Who would guess that the dinner
table can be a powerful pathway for change, both for ourselves and our
world. But here is the problem:
"Eating aware" people can hardly make a difference when our lives are
so hectic that even ordering takeout is a stretch. Happily, author Mary Collette Rogers has
discovered that busy people don't have to be hostages to take out and fast
foods. In this interactive talk, she
reveals the secret for eating in a way that matches our ideals--even with
impossibly busy lives. Learn about the
many positive impacts that can be brought about by conscious food and eating
choices and how to unlock the life-changing potential hidden in the humble
kitchen.
Mary Collette
Rogers has witnessed the power of good eating.
When her children were quite young, they suffered serious illnesses
which she was able to cure through nutritional therapy. Since that time, she developed a nutrition
and meal management software program and most recently authored Take
Control of Your Kitchen, both products designed to help busy people tap
into the joys of the kitchen and the healthful riches of good food. She loves to inspire fun and creativity in
the kitchen while sharing the helpful insights, tips and strategies gathered
over 15 years in the healthy eating and cooking fields.
