A Totally Raw Picnic, right here in New Haven

What a menu

Mary Lawrence, author of the blog, The Traveling Vegan Chef at http://wellonwheels.blogspot.com/ recently held quite a shindig in New Haven - it had an entirely raw vegan menu using fresh, seasonal produce sourced from local farm markets and gardens.


Her blog and Web site should be checked out as her intent is: "Well on Wheels is Connecticut's premier vegan personal chef service providing fresh organic whole foods cuisine prepared in your home kitchen. We help make healthy eating easy for people too busy to cook."
In the photo, published here with Mary's permission, she speaks to the crowd at the picnic.

Well, well, well

Seems many scientists think we would be more well, if we were to give up meat.
And I quote from another source:

"Says Dr. William C. Roberts, editor of the American Journal of Cardiology, "Although we think we are, and we act as if we are, human beings are not natural carnivores. When we kill animals to eat them, they end up killing us, because their flesh, which contains cholesterol and saturated fat, was never intended for human beings, who are natural herbivores."
