Virgin Vegan author, Linda Long interviews REAL founder, Caryn Hartglass.
There are no coincidences. I met Bilal while renting a car for Responsible Eating And Living. He was managing the car rental office and he asked about my business. I can’t resist an opportunity to talk about food and I told him why I founded REAL and what we do. I had no idea until I saw this interview with Bilal how that one day helped inspire him to eat a healthier diet. We’ve had many discussions about food and health since that time and I am so proud of his progress, losing weight, feeling more energized and getting healthier.

Bilal was instrumental in getting a community grant for Responsible Eating And Living which never would have happened if we didn’t have that first conversation about food. Thank you Bilal!
I am a believer in eating whole, fresh, organically grown plant-foods. But in this world where food can come from any part of the globe and labels on food can suggest all kinds of characteristics (organic, low fat, no fat, low sodium, low carb, natural, etc.) knowing what’s healthy can be really confusing. Add on top of that, information that is put out in conference presentations and blogs by people who are respected when it comes to the best knowledge in nutrition. Some information contradicts other information and we can start to feel panicky. It can be so overwhelming, some just give up, and eat whatever seems appealing in the moment.
Today’s New York Times had two articles in it that made my chemo-tainted blood boil: U.S. Scrambling To Ease Shortage of Vital Medicine and U.S Rejects Mayor’s Plan to Ban Use of Food Stamps to Buy Soda.
