What type of diet is best for disease prevention and to maintain a healthy weight? The best diet is one that you can stick with for life. A healthy diet is a lifestyle, not a fad that is dangerous or difficult to maintain.
Abundant evidence suggests that the most healthful diets set aside animal products and also reduce fats in general, while including large amounts of vegetables and fruits. Eliminating meat and dairy products from your diet is a powerful step in disease prevention. |
Help Green Our Festival!
We encourage you to BYO reusable food utensils, bags, straws and water bottles! We will also have boxed water for sale at the following locations: The Welcome Tent, Beer Garden and #NachoBar. The Girls Gone Green tent will be selling eco-friendly merch to use at the festival (and beyond!) Stop by the tent for To-Go Ware bamboo utensil sets ($12), Ridley Straws reusable glass straws - regular size ($4) smoothie size ($5), Koffie Straws reusable silicone straws ($5), Earthwise reusable produce bags ($4 for a set of 3) and The Girls Gone Green reusable bag ($5)! The glass straws fit inside the utensil set cases, so you'll have everything you need!
Pro tip: Bring reusable containers from home to take home all of the goodness you can't finish! Unlike cows, we humans only have one stomach, so by bringing your own to-go containers, you are both cutting down on food waste and extending the amount of noms you can taste!
