Many things made me become a vegetarian, among them the higher food yield as a solution to world hunger. - John Denver
Lorrie & Pat Rather
Lorrie and Pat Rather have been a team for more than twenty-four years and have eaten primarily vegetarian for most of their lives together. They have always been interested in health and athletics, so their response to middle age was to "upgrade" their health (and their commitment to animal welfare and environmental issues) by becoming vegans. Being educators, they thoroughly explored the implications of their decision via the latest scientific/medical research. Amazingly, they found that avoiding most of the health issues of aging was as simple as changing their diet and they are living-proof of their discoveries.
They will be sharing their findings from three doctors/researchers - John A. McDougall, M.D., Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., T. Colin Campbell, PhD.
Pat is a training specialist and program coordinator. Lorrie does volunteer work, gardens, and enjoys vegan cooking. Pat and Lorrie live in South Eugene, are dedicated bicyclists, and continue to study about the vegan lifestyle.
