by ECM | April 12, 2009 6:50 pm

April 1, 2009 (Spring Valley)–The Spring Valley Library, 836 Kempton Street, will host “Vegetarian Day @ Your Library” on Saturday, April 25 from 12 noon to 3 p.m. This one-day free event will offer a wide variety of presentations on the ethical, environmental, health and humanitarian benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle. The public is invited to sample a variety of vegetarian foods, fresh fruits and vegetables throughout the day.

Fruits and vegetables contain many powerful and important disease-fighting nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Most of them help reduce the risk of many cancers, heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. A vegetarian diet that incorporates these food groups and other key nutrients can be the healthiest lifestyle choice you’ll ever make.

The day’s events will include:

• A vegetarian sampling of foods from Henry’s, Albertson’s, Fresh n’ Easy, Sunshine Burgers, Chipotle, Tierra Miguel Foundation and more.
• Vegetarian and Raw food cooking demonstrations and samples from Bryan Au and Healthy and Whole.
• Presentations by Dietician Kelli Gray Meisner, Certified Nutritionist Sara Krencicki, the Tierra Miguel Foundation, and author Bryan Au (Raw in Ten Minutes).
• Resource tables, displays and promotion of coupons, literature and giveaways.
• Crafts for all ages.

This event is open to the public and reservations are not required. For more information please call Jennifer Teitelbaum at (619) 463-3006.
