Yesterday we made 150 sunflower and jam sandwiches and packed them with a cutie, carrots, and soy milk for the kids at the YMCA Jumpathon jump rope contest. Everyone was happy and well fueled to keep jumping all day long!

We had a great time at the Educate Resource Fair on Friday talking about blue zones while giving out blue corn chips with salsa/ beans/ guacamole as well as some chocolate of course! We also had our classic “guess what’s in the jar” game going where booth visitors guess what legume or other plant food is in each of our 6 mystery jars on the table. Always a good time at the PBNC table.

ATTENTION! If you are a Cuesta student, please go take our cafeteria survey and tell us what food options you would like to see on campus. This will help us advocate for healthy options, more plants, and the food you want to eat! This has long been a major goal of the club, and together we can make this happen, people! Check your Cuesta email for a link to complete the survey.

The Journal of Geriatric Cardiology special issue is dedicated to “A plant-based diet and cardiovascular disease”. It includes a variety of topics including plant-based diets and type 2 diabetes prevention, for obesity prevention and treatment, and in relation to coronary artery disease. Articles are by top researches and physicians like Michelle McMacken, Robert Ostfeld, Caldwell Esselstyn, and T. Colin Campbell. Many of these ideas are not new, and the same people have been talking about them for decades, but it is always fantastic to see them being given the attention they deserve. Check it out if you haven't already. Excerpts from Michelle McMacken’s “A plant based diet for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes.”
