She’s funny. She’s exuberant. She’s plant-based.
On January 14, Colleen Patrick-Goudreau entertained a crowd of more than 75 people at the Los Altos Library for GreenTown’s monthly community forum.
Patrick-Goudreu, who has written a slew of books, including the popular, “The Joy of Vegan Baking”, “The Vegan Table”, and, “The 30-Day Vegan Challenge”, shared her stories of becoming vegan and how to combat some of the cultural and social challenges of staying vegan.
Her primary motive: compassion for animals.
Her most recent book, “The Joyful Vegan: Everything You Need to Stay Vegan in a World that Wants You to Keep Eating Meet, Dairy and Eggs”, focuses on the practical aspects of living compassionately and healthfully.
This talk represented the third talk about plant-based eating from GreenTown’s Eating Green team. The first, with Ocean Robbins focused primarily on the health benefits.
The second, with Nil Zacarias, highlighted the environmental benefits of plant-based living, and Colleen Patrick-Goudreau examining the benefits to animals and our return to compassion.
