Where do vegetarians get their protein?  Are low-carb, high-protein diets OK? What kind of oils are the best to use?  And, what about omega-3's and 6's?  When it comes to going veg, these are the big topics that garner the most questions. On Saturday, a full house turned out to hear dietitian Bev Miller unravel the confusing science of nutrition and offer practical guidance on how to make healthy food choices. The occasion was part 2 of our Veg 101 series: Moving Towards a Heart Healthy Diet. In addition, participants were treated to free food samples donated by Tofurky (thanks to Neil) and plenty of information to take home and review!

For those of you in the Toronto area, there is still one more opportunity to meet Bev and event organizers, members of the Toronto Vegetarian Association’s Veggie Challenge Team. Join us 3pm Saturday, March 31 at Northern District Library for the 3rd and final installment of Veg 101: Healthy Living for a Lifetime. Admission is free, so arrive early to ensure you get a good seat.
