Here's one for healthy foodies

From the Oberlin Public Library:

Join us for a Raw Vegan Potluck on Friday, April 24th, 2009 from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. at the Oberlin Public Library. It is a wonderful opportunity to gather with like-minded people to socialize and eat a raw plant-based meal. Learn about the Living Foods Lifestyle from Raw Vegan chef Che Gonzalez and guests, Leeza Ramsey, Laura Paxton, and Jim Lawhead.

Please bring a prepared dish of raw, organic (preferably), and vegan ingredients (no animal products!) soups, crackers, salads, dressings and sauces, entrees, desserts, and snacks.

Provide a detailed list of the ingredients. If it's your first time and you don't know what to bring, but are interested in coming, just bring an organic salad with dressing on the side. Please bring your own plates and silverware.

Sign-up at the reference desk or email Che at oberlinpubliclibrary@yahoo.com.

Michael Pollan to Speak at Oberlin College

Healthy choices are a big part of what Back Roads and Beaches is all about. Not only do many of the restaurants serve healthy, fresh, locally grown foods but occasionally an event springs up that captures this same spirit. This is why we want BRaB readers to know about a great event this week.

Tomorrow night, Tuesday, October 28th, 2008; Michael Pollan, author of In Defense of Food: an Eater's Manifesto and The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals will be speaking at Finney Chapel as part of the Oberlin College Convocation Series. Pollan will begin at 8pm. Tickets are not required.
