Click here to register: https://rssny.org/class-forms/kickstarter.html
One of the concerns many people have when trying to eat healthy is following advice about fats in foods. There are many different types of fats in foods and, not only are they not all bad, healthy fats are necessary for your body to function properly. In this workshop you will learn the differences between fats you should limit, and fats that are good for you.
After the lecture, there will be plenty of time to ask questions about eating and cooking plant-based meals, share your successes and challenges and get support for yourself and others on this journey of eating healthier.
