Adding LIFE to your years and years to your life!

The Food Revolution Summit

There is a really cool free event coming up that I wanted to share with my Raw Food Rehab brothers and sisters!

John Robbins (who walked away from inheriting millions from the Baskin-Robbins ice cream fortune because he didn't want to hurt people or animals) is hosting a forum with a ton of awesome speakers! I have a special place in my heart for John Robbins because it was after reading his book "Diet For A New America" in college that I became a vegetarian.

The Summit starts tomorrow and is free, just sign up on his website. Here's some info:

John Robbins could have inherited the Baskin-Robbins fortune and empire. But he walked away from all the money and the power. Why? He simply didn't want to devote his life to selling ice cream after realizing it makes people unhealthy. So he decided to make a change. Over the last 25 years, his books about healthy eating and healthy living (including bestseller Diet for a New America) have sold millions of copies and been translated into more than 30 languages.

Ocean Robbins was born in a log cabin built by his parents, and grew up eating food they grew together. At age 16, he co-founded an organization called YES! (Youth for Environmental Sanity) that he directed for the next 20 years. YES! has reached more than 650,000 students in school assemblies, and organized seminars and gatherings for leaders from 65+ nations. Ocean's work took him all over the world where he saw first-hand the powerful impact of the food we eat, not just on our health, but on people and economies everywhere.

Now John Robbins and his son, Ocean Robbins, have gathered together the most revolutionary scientists, doctors and nutritionists for the first ever, international food revolution summit. They are on a mission to help YOU heal, grow and thrive. Here is the speaker line-up!
