More Than 3,200 Chefs And Nutritionists Will Be Trained To Make Plant-Based Food

The training means more healthy whole food meals will be available nationwide

 

Training is part of plans to make plant-based food more widely available
Chartwells Higher Education, Morrison Healthcare and The Humane Society of the United States [HSUS] have teamed up as part of a plan to make plant-based food more widely available.
The organizations have launched a training course - Forward Food Culinary Experience - a full-day class that aims to inspire chefs to create delicious meals without meat, eggs or dairy, while teaching the benefits of plant-based eating.
These in-the-kitchen classes and train-the-trainers program will influence approximately 3,200 chefs and registered dieticians across the country in 2018.
Participants will learn to create plant-based breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks like carrot osso bucco, mushroom street tacos, cauliflower fried rice, biscuits and gravy, and tofu scramble.

Exciting

Vice President of Wellness and Sustainability for foodservice company Chartwells, Laura Lapp, said: "To me, these classes are about breaking that meat-and-two-sides mindset, stepping out of your comfort zone and creating exciting dishes that appeal to vegans and meat eaters alike."
Classes will be led by HSUS chefs and nutritionists nationwide.
The program started in Chartwells' Higher Ed locations in June to meet student demand and will roll out at Morrison Healthcare locations in the fall of 2017. 

Challenge

Morrison Healthcare is conducting 21-day plant-based challenges at select hospital locations nationwide.
Staff and visitors are encouraged to eliminate or limit consumption of animal products and increase whole plant foods in their diets.
Host locations offer culinary demonstrations, lunch and learns, and offer an increased variety of plant-based foods in cafeterias.
Vice President of Culinary for Morrison, Cary Neff, said: "Focusing on flavor is part of our philosophy at Morrison Healthcare.
"With a focus on healthful recipes that are delicious, elegant and easy to prepare, this partnership will help expand our repertoire and get guests and staff excited about food that's good for them and the planet."

'Leaders'

HSUS President and CEO, Wayne Pacelle, added: "Serving more plant-based meals is a great way to improve health, take a bite out of carbon emissions, and reduce consumption of industrially-produced animal products.
"Compass is doing something important and noteworthy in offering its culinary leaders this opportunity."

The Perfect Smoothie Formula

Image
Written by Matt Frazier C lick the image to view full-size. The way I see it, you only need to eat healthy twice during the day.  While you’ll certainly eat more than twice a day, just two healthy meals make it pretty hard to screw up the rest of them. Once is in the afternoon, when a big salad loaded with greens, other raw vegetables, and nuts will fill you up and give you more veggies than most people eat all day.  And as a bonus, it’ll give you the chance to get even more good stuff, when you dress it with quality oil, lemon juice, and a little sea salt. The other time is in the morning, when a smoothie made from fruits (and even vegetables) will not only set the tone for the entire day, but act as a vehicle for other superfoods or supplements you want to work into your diet. That’s it. Just two healthy meals. Even if you ate whatever you wanted the rest of the day, I’d be willing to bet you wouldn’t get fat, as long as you made sure to drink a smooth...

How to Nail Race Day: 4 Keys to a Successful First Ultramarathon

Image
Written by Doug Hay   Five months ago, my wife Katie gave birth to a beautiful baby girl . Let’s call her Eliza (that is her name, after all). For months leading up to Eliza’s birth, Katie and I attended birthing classes, read books on having a healthy pregnancy, and wrote birthing plans, all with the focus on getting that baby out of Katie as easily and naturally as possible. And it went great. Two days later, we pull into our driveway from the hospital with a tiny, wrinkly, healthy, baby Eliza. Exhausted, Katie immediately gets in bed for a nap while I grab Eliza and snuggle up on the couch. That’s when it hits me. “Holy shit. Now what?!” We had spent so much energy trying to successfully get through the pregnancy and birth that we didn’t focus on how to actually raise this child — an actual human, I might add — for which we are responsible. Over and over, I see runners doing the same thing during their first ultramarathons . They pour an enormous amo...

Intermittent Fasting for the Vegan Athlete: Is It Right for You?

Image
Written by Pamela Fergusson, RD, PhD Intermittent fasting is all the rage—but is right for you? Fasting has long been a common practice in many cultures, used to promote mental health and longevity. More recently, it’s gained popularity as a weight loss tool. But significantly restricting your calories for a long period of time can be dangerous. Not to mention incredibly difficult, scary, and simply not fun. That’s where intermittent fasting comes in. Intermittent fasting refers to dietary patterns that cycle between fasting and and non-fasting, to help you experience the health benefits of fasting without many of the downsides. And studies have shown that it can help you lose weight, boost your metabolism , reduce the risk of certain diseases, and even improve your mood. The best part?  Intermittent fasting is completely natural. According to a 2014 article in the journal Cell Metabolism authored in part by Valter Longo, the director ...
