Hi Everyone,

I hope this weeks newsletter is finding you all healthy and managing to stay sane with all the infuriating things going on in this country and the world. I forced myself to watch last night’s presidential debate, and while I was not surprised at the spectacle I witnessed, I remain amazed that not everyone sees the dire situation we are in, in the same way as I do. The current president could not even condemn white supremacy or acknowledge global warming. We are witnessing the effects of global warming across the country, with wild fires in California and the Pacific Northwest burning out of control, powerful and frequent hurricanes bashing into the southern coastlines, heat waves, floods and droughts causing death and ruining crops and the economy, wildlife and plant extinction, and yet the conversation about global warming barely made the conversation, and our food system didn’t even come up! It’s so discouraging.

On a happier note, I am thrilled to invite back onto my show, Caryn Hartglass, a fellow PRN host, and co-founder of the non-profit organization, Responsible Eating And Living (REAL). Caryn combines science with practical knowledge from real life experiences to educate about the healing benefits of a plant-based diet. She obtained the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and eCornell’s Plant Based Nutrition Certificate. She’s co-directed nutrition programs at the Food Revolution Network and was editor of the Food Revolution Family Cookbook. She has appeared on Dr. Oz, Geraldo At Large, 20-20 and CNN, and hosts the weekly show, It’s All About Food on the Progressive Radio Network. With Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Chemical Engineering from Bucknell University, she worked in the semiconductor industry for 20 years. A classically trained singer, she has performed in opera and musicals in the United States and abroad and won two international voice competitions (France, South Africa). An ovarian cancer survivor, she’s a contributor to 25 Women Who Survived Cancer: Notable Women Share Inspiring Stories of Hope, along with Robin Roberts, Fran Drescher, and Patti LuPone. Caryn and Gary produced the documentary, The Lone Vegan Preaching to the Fire, about Caryn speaking to 250 cattle producers about animal agriculture’s impact on climate change.

I hope you can join us on Thursday and hear about Caryn’s journey from cancer survivor to plant based educator, healing herself and others on the way.
