Join us in reading Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams’ new book, Healthy at Last: A Plant-Based Approach to Preventing & Reversing Diabetes & Other Chronic Illnesses.

Armed with the hard science and real-life stories of those who have transformed their bodies by changing their diet, Adams shares the key steps for a healthy, active life. With this book, he shows readers how to avoid processed foods, cut down on salt, get more fiber, and substitute beef, chicken, pork, and dairy with delicious plant-based alternatives. In the process he explores the origins of soul food — a cuisine deeply important to the Black community, but also one rooted in the horrors of slavery — and how it can be reimagined with healthy alternatives.

The author himself will join us for a brief conversation near the end of our meeting!

This is a book group discussion and will not include a report on the contents of the book. Those who have not read any of the book will find less value in the discussion than those who read at least some if not all of it.

This monthly series is facilitated by Lynn Diamond, PPMNY’s Associate Network Director & Director of Community Education.

A Zoom link will be sent to all registrants on the day of the event.
