Mark your calendars for Earthsave Baltimore’s 5th Annual Earth Friendly Food Choices on May 1, featuring presentations by T. Colin Campbell and Bruce Friedrich. A volunteer-led nonprofit, Earthsave Baltimore helps people make healthier, earth-friendly food choices by promoting a shift toward a whole foods, plant-centered diet.

Dr. Campbell, who directed the China Study, will discuss his theory, based on a lifetime of research, that animal products cause more cancers than does any chemical carcinogen. After Dr. Campbell, attend animal protection advocate Bruce Friedrich’s lecture about the impact our food choices have on the environment and our health. Friedrich, who was named by Details magazine as one of the most influential young men in this country, will share his vision of the importance of veganism and animal rights.

The Earth Friendly Food Choices event will take place from 5:30-9 p.m. at the Women’s Club of Catonsville. Light refreshments are included. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door.
