2015 Responsible Eating And Living Fundraiser

Caryn Hartglass and Gary De Mattei founded the not for profit corporation, Responsible Eating And Living (REAL) to educate the public about the benefits of adopting a plant-based lifestyle. The website, ResponsibleEatingAndLiving.com was launched in July of 2011.

Radio: Co-founder and ovarian cancer survivor Hartglass, hosts the weekly Progressive Radio Network Show, It's All About Food, and has interviewed over 400 experts in the whole foods, plant-based, sustainable food movement including doctors, nutritionists, scientists, athletes, activists and chefs, which are now archived on the REAL site. In addition, volunteers across the country have helped transcribe most of these broadcasts for those who might not have the ability to listen to a podcast due to a hearing impairment or just want to scan the piece at their own pace.

Recipes: Hartglass and De Mattei have created over 350 original plant-based recipes and continue to add new ones practically every day. Several of their sumptuous creations have been featured in magazines, periodicals and books such as the upcoming Rodale publication, Living the Farm Sanctuary Life by Gene Baur. Most recently, Hartglass has created the popular daily blog, What Vegans Eat, to answer the most asked question posed to those who eat plants, "What do you eat?"

Video: REAL has created over 50 original videos including:

Live Entertainment: The educational component for REAL, The Swingin' Gourmets, which was featured last year, live, at Dr. Joel Fuhrman's Health Immersion Weekend, is a musical performance of original skits and songs recounting Hartglass' battle with advanced ovarian cancer and De Mattei's lifelong struggle with fad diets and eating disorders. The show ends happily with these two dynamic performers finding each other on stage and joining forces to bring Responsible Eating And Living into the world.
