DESCRIPTION:Healthful eating and vegetarianism is a growing trend in the U.S. and very 
 evident in the S.F. Bay Area where many restaurants here will feature 
 vegetarian menu selections.  In order to better serve and recognize the Bay 
 Area's health conscious community and to introduce others to very healthy 
 eating habits there's a special kind of BBQ event planned.\n\nA couple of 
 generations ago vegetarianism was a word rarely spoken or heard. Now, the 
 practice is so common that many restaurants carry one or more vegetarian 
 friendly menu selections. Vegetarianism is the following of a plant based 
 diet. This can include or exclude the use of dairy products and eggs. Lacto 
 vegetarianism (or lactarians) consume dairy products but not eggs. Ovo 
 vegetarians eat eggs but not dairy products. There are health benifits to 
 either or both. Studies have shown that, overall, vegetarians tend to have 
 lower body mass index, lower cholesterol and lower blood pressure. [1] They 
 also have less incidents of heart desease, renal desease and type 2 
 diabetes than meat eaters.[2] "But", you ask"...What about protien?"  
 Studies at Harvard University as well as other studies conducted in the 
 United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and various 
 European countries, confirmed vegetarian diets provide sufficient protein 
 intake as long as a variety of plant sources are available and consumed.[3] 
 In an interest to better serve the vegetarian community in the S.F. Bay 
 Area and to encourage other people to consider adopting more healthful 
 eating habits, the following event is planned: \n\nFREE Community 
 Healthy/Vegetarian BBQ!! All are welcome [including meat eaters]!! There 
 will be lots of free vegetarian food, and activities for children. There 
 will also be  free professional Health Analysis available, FREE massages 
 and prizes! The event will be at Immanuel Temple SDA Church 2411-55th Ave., 
 Oakland, CA. on July 17th, 2011 from 1 to 4 p.m. The contact person is
