(Seguin) — A doctor well-known for his work in the plant-based diet movement will be making a special visit to Seguin on Thursday night.
Vickie Spradling, who has been a leading voice in a local plant-based diet group, says they are thrilled to be bringing in Dr. Michael Klaper to their event tonight.
Spradling says whether you’ve never considered an all plant diet or not, you owe it to yourself to come hear what Dr. Klaper has to say.
“I encourage you to come listen to what Doctor Klaper has to say, eat some of the food that we eat, so you’ll know and you’ll understand that we eat much more than lettuce and carrots. We will also have information on what you can do next,” said Spradling.
Spradling says they will have plenty of resources available for you after the presentation to help you on your journey, wherever you are in it. She says there’s not guilt-trip or shaming with this effort. She says they just want people to get the information that they need to start eating and living healthier, by adopting this new lifestyle.
“I also will have a list of cookbooks and websites and stuff where you can go and get recipes. We also have a monthly meeting and I encourage you to come to our monthly meeting, and learn more. It’s an ongoing process and I understand it may you might not switch overnight, but come, listen, (and) learn. Give it a try,” said Spradling.
The free event runs from 6:00 to 8:00 tonight at First Methodist Church in Seguin. Spradling says they’ll eat during the potluck and then Dr. Klaper will address the group. The First Methodist Church is located at the corner of Austin and College streets.
