About ARAD
The Atlanta-based non-profit Alliance to Repair the American Diet was founded by Benji Kurtz. Obese his entire adult life, Benji and his wife Claire watched the film Forks Over Knives in 2013. The movie inspired the Kurtz’s to embrace a whole-food, plant-based (WFPB) diet. The WFPB diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds and excludes all animal products. Processed foods are minimized, as are any additional salt, oil and sugar.
The Food = Medicine Conference seeks to educate the public and provide continuing education for medical professionals about the growing body of research linking poor food choices to chronic disease. For more information visit www.foodasmedicince.info.
