7 WAYS … TO IMPROVE YOUR DIET
July 2, 2009 by The Dove · Leave a Comment
1. Clean out your refrigerator and kitchen cupboards. Read the labels of every product in your home that you deem edible. If you cant pronounce it, or it has more ingredients than words in the bible, chances are your body isnt meant to digest it. Are there foods in your cupboards you feel guilty just looking at? Guilt is the greatest destroyer of emotional energy-therefore you dont need it, or the Snickers bar in your life. Nature provides some of the most delectable treats you could ever imagine. Head to nutritional expert David Wolfes website www.davidwolfe.com, for the low-down on one of natures most incredible gifts: raw cacao. The cacao bean is natures number one weight loss and high-energy food.
Celebrating Vegan Earth Day
June 21, 2009 by The Dove · Leave a Comment
From celebrity speakers and must-see movies to live music and gourmet food, Vegan Earth Day was celebrated in grand style on longest day of the year today-summer solstice.
The solar-powered event, held in Los Angeles, attracted vegans, as well as those curious about the lifestyle. Veganism omits meat and dairy from the diet (as well as leather products from the wardrobe) and is generally adopted because of its outstanding health benefits, its respect for animals and the positive impact it has on the planet.
Guest speakers included Earthlings’ Shaun Monson, “Peace Mom” Cindy Sheehan, heart specialist Dr Caldwell Esselstyn, professional triathlete Rip Esselstyn, award-winning actor Marianna Tosca, actor Chris DeRose and others.
The Green Dove ventured out for some sunny vitamin D, delicious vegan fare and tons of education.

Food Industry Putting Profits Before Health

How much do we know about the food we buy at our local supermarkets and serve to our families? Though our food appears the same-a tomato still looks like a tomato-it has been radically transformed.
Nature’s Calling

Planet Raw, Santa Monica, Los Angeles, U.S.A.
Review by Shannon Dunn
A NATURAL STATE If you hadnt heard of raw food aficionado Juliano and happened to stumble upon his restaurant in LAs famed seaside suburb of Santa Monica, youd be forgiven for wondering where the grills and ovens are. Here, words such as bake, boil, steam and barbeque are left at the door of the nearest fast food joint. At Planet Raw, its all about food preparation that keeps natures (organic) food in its natural state, with life-giving enzymes kept fully in tact to give you a boost that, quite simply, no other form of food preparation could. Yet, its important to know that carrots and beans on a plate its not. Food here is prepared with loving care, with many ingredients spending long, lazy hours in food dehydrators before being whipped up into gourmet works of art at the instruction of the “guru” himself, Juliano.

Why it’s great: This no-nonsense gem says it exactly like it is: “You cannot keep shoveling the same crap into your mouth every day and expect to lose weight.” Sure, it might sound harsh, but the message Freedman and Barnouin bring to the kitchen table should be heard by everyone and anyone who wants to live a truly vibrant, full life.
Who’s reading it: It’s no surprise to hear PETA President Ingrid Newkirk is a Skinny Bitch fan. It has also gained widespread media attention from the NY Times to Health & Fitness UK.
What you’ll learn: That no matter how much you tell yourself diet pills and potions “might work this time”, getting real and putting down the bacon is the first step to a healthier, happier you.
