Weekend Health Clinic: Black Vegetarians–they do exist!
on February 13th, 2005 at 12:47 pmBlack Vegetarian Society of Georgia (http://www.bvsga.org)
The Black Vegetarian Society of Georgia is a voluntary non profit membership organization that promotes vegetarianism and the inherent health benefits of a plant-based eating plan. Our members embrace vegetarianism because of health reasons, spiritual affiliations, the environment are beliefs in non-violence. We realize we are what we eat and make a connection between preventive, wholistic and traditional practices for total wellness.
Our organization seeks to fill the gaps that exist in our communities, particularly in meeting and addressing the concerns of chronic and degenerative diseases. People of color are disproportionately affected by hypertension and diabetes.
