Dishing the Dirt on Dairy

Nathan Runkle October 12, 2009

In honor of World Farm Animals Day, volunteers with the Cleveland, Ohio Mercy For Animals chapter hosted a free vegan dinner and “The Dirt on Dairy” lecture with George Eisman, RD at the Cleveland Heights Library. Eisman is Nutrition Director for The Coalition for Cancer Prevention and a professor of nutrition since 1980. He delivered a powerful presentation detailing the ever-growing body of research which shows that milk and dairy products are not only unnecessary for good health but contribute to numerous severe health problems.

A team of volunteers in Cleveland put together a delicious vegan meal for all attendees, introducing many for the first time to dairy-free versions of macaroni & cheese, pizza, casseroles, quiche, chocolate pudding, ice-cream, cookies, fudge, etc.
