Desi...thanks so much you guys for the kind words. <br /><br />Desiree, "nutri-royalty"... that's great! :)<br /><br />wholefoodsveganmomma, I would love to meet Dr. Ornish as well. My husband's father followed his program to reverse heart disease over 10 years ago, was a drastic life change for them both, but changed them for the better forever. Since then, I've felt grateful for his work - and that my fil's cardiologist recognized Dr. Ornish's work to recommend his book.<br /><br />Sally T, like Dr. Barnard said in his talk, usually the message needs to come from an outside source, not family. So even if you wrote 50 books... still mightn't do the trick. :-/<br /><br />Veronica, I haven't been doing a lot of book reviews recently, just don't have a lot of time to give justice to a book by trying recipes and taking photos etc. If you'd like to contact me though, my e-mail is dreenaburton@gmail.com. I might be able to give a mention on twitter/fb, etc. thanks. :)Dreenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551890320761504899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-76293384734025004382012-03-30T04:52:43.519-07:002012-03-30T04:52:43.519-07:00What a great experience!

I met Dr. Ornish once (also kind of a plant-based guy, not vegan). Just a nice, normal guy. <br /><br />I'm a big Barnard fan. He's definitely a bit more forward in his approach and doesn't mind shaking things up a bit. Very cool that you got a chance to meet him. <br /><br />Your gorgeous, btw!Janae @ Bring-Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03537844248811822244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-65154129499190164162012-03-27T11:36:47.074-07:002012-03-27T11:36:47.074-07:00I just heard Dr. Barnard speak at Seattle Vegfest,...I just heard Dr. Barnard speak at Seattle Vegfest, and it sounds like he gave the same talk!

But if he wrote the foreword to your cookbook, I don't think you had any reason to be shy about meeting him. You're pretty well known yourself!<br /><br />I'd love to meet Dr. Bernard, but haven't had the chance yet.

His Foods that Cause You to Lose Weight was one of my first vegan cookbooks and is so well-loved and well-worn that the middle pages have fallen out of the binding! I am such a fan of his message and the way he delivers it. I'm so glad you were able to meet him! I'd love to get my parents to try the 21-day Kickstart one day, although my mom stopped eating animals 11 months ago, so she's already started in the right direction. :)Jenni (aka Vegyogini)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04248320434337952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-38653556860565871562012-03-26T11:56:07.974-07:002012-03-26T11:56:07.974-07:00I met Dr. Barnard in Toronto back in November and ...I met Dr. Barnard in Toronto back in November and I was exactly the same way!
