Welcome to WTF?! Wednesday, a weekly feature here at Dos Veganos where we will highlight the absurd, humorous, and downright “DUH!” moments in the realm of nutrition and health.
A cure for cancer???
Warning: Not for the faint of heart!
I bumped into this Ripley’s Believe It or Not segment recently.
I have no words!
Greetings Fellow Veganites!
Tonight I went to a cooking and nutrition workshop presented by Jane Sirignano from the Cancer Project. She’s the head of the CT chapter. It was a fantastic class on cooking plant-based meals to aid in cancer prevention and survival. She was both knowledgeable and passionate in her presentation. We all were able to taste delicious samples of smoothies, soups (cooked and raw), guacamole, and black bean dip. It was followed up by a vegan potluck. The entire event was hosted by the Northern Connecticut Vegetarian Society. I ate three plates of food (plus the food samples) and only paid eight bucks and contributed a four dollar pineapple! (Who’s a piggie????) I can’t say enough about how amazing the food was (and the people weren’t half bad either! LOL!). From vegan cornbread to a lentil stew (that tasted like a sloppy joe with pulled pork) to delicious corn bread and bountiful salads. Whatta steal!
Here’s a video of Jane Sirignano as a guest on one of our local channels:
I highly recommend checking out this amazing organization (associated with Neal Barnard and the PCRM). My mom recently passed away of cancer so this is something I can really get behind since it’s a true preventative approach to many of our cancer-related illnesses (that is if you buy into the research of T. Colin Campbell and other nutritional scientists like him).
Hope this post can be helpful to someone who might be suffering from this painful disease or for your loved one who is…
Peas and luv,
