On August 17 & 18, I had the privilege of being able to attend the Farms2Forks event "Plant-Stock" at the Esselstyn Farm. The event was put together by the Engine 2 Diet team and the Forks Over knives team to bring together very educated and motivational speakers in attempt to influence people to adopt a healthy whole food plant based diet. The event lasted for 12 hours both days. We were served breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and we got to hear from educated and motivational speakers, some that were even featured in the documentary Forks Over Knives: Rip Esselstyn Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr. T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. Howard Jacobson, Ph.D. Michael Moss Jane Esselstyn, R.N. Ann Esselstyn Natala Constantine, Engine 2 Diet Doug Lisle, Ph.D. James 'Lightning' Wilks Dani Little PLANT-STOCK INFO: On this same weekend 43 years ago, on an idyllic farm in upstate New York, a generation came together to hear the icons of their era share a profound and inspiring message. That weekend was known and is remembered as Woodstock. In 2013, we invite you to join together to embrace a new message, a message fit for our time and aimed at a new generation. We call our contemporary installment, affectionately, Plant-Stock, and we welcome you to be part of this life-transforming festival. Plant-Stock's mission is simple. Take control of your well-being through diet and nutrition. Understand how food, as Hippocrates said, can be thy medicine. You'll learn, once and for all, how to make eating plant-strong a turnkey and seamless way of life. While we can't promise any music legends, we can guarantee this weekend will change your life in ways both positive and profound. Plant-Stock will take place entirely outdoors under a pristine canopy tent erected in the Esselstyn family's backyard. Here you will learn from world-class speakers how to implement and follow a plant-based lifestyle. In addition to our usual Farms 2 Forks team, you'll have the opportunity to hear Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Jane Esselstyn, as well as success stories from across the country. You'll also be treated to delicious and satiating plant-powered meals, each served in the pleasant shadow of the 400-year-old Esselstyn family farm.

Once that is established, getting some sunshine and sport during the week will make you go even further. A plant-based diet consisting of at least 80% of calories from carbohydrates will give you the edge you need to reach your potential. Go Vegan; for the people, for the animals, for the planet.
