Experience a "Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine" Food For Life Class. This one focuses on "Yummy Fitness" and is for ALL.
For centuries, athletes have been following plant-based diets to achieve a competitive advantage. Recently, plant-based diets are gaining popularity in a variety of sports. Perhaps that's because vegan athletes are leading in endurance sports, weightlifting, and even Formula One racing.

It also demonstrates qualities for enhanced recovery over high-fat and animal-based diets.
