The Father of Veganism (Dr. Will Tuttle)

world peace

 

Every day we walk through the grocery store mindlessly throwing things into our grocery cart.  What would it be like if we made our grocery shopping an extension of our meditation.   Now, what happens if we really start thinking about where the food in that plastic wrapping came from, what it took to get to your table, and the impact it our food has our environment ?  What would it be like if we cooked with more intention or got more involved with growing our own food? Our guest, Dr. Will Tuttle,  discusses the next level of our conscious evolution with our food choices on April 10th from 1:00-2:00PST.  Make sure to join us live on Wed’s from 1:00-2:00PST.  If you can’t’ make the live show, then make sure to subscribe (see right side), like us on Facebook, or signing up for a show on iTunes.
