Events Promote Healthy Food Choices

BY SUSAN SHERRILL

Whole Foods Market and Rip Esselstyn, author of “The Engine 2 Diet”, will host a screening of the food documentary, “Forks Over Knives” at the Ridgewood Public Library. 125 N. Maple Ave., on Monday, Feb. 13.  The film examines the claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that affect us can be controlled, or even reversed, by avoiding animal-based and processed foods – in other words, adopting a vegan diet. The evening begins with a reception from 6:30 to 7 p.m.; followed by the hour-long film and a question-and-answer session with Esselstyn.

On Wednesday, Feb. 15, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., Esselstyn will host a Heart Health Workshop at the Whole Foods in the Bergen Town Center, Paramus. He will sign copies of his book and share tips on healthy eating, losing weight and decreasing your cholesterol.

Both events are free; for more information visit wholefoods.com.
