For years, dietary fats have been praised, blamed, banned, and reborn in endless headlines — so what kind of fat should we eat, and how much?
Plant Powered Metro New York opens National Nutrition Month with a science-rich presentation with Marty Davey, RD, CDN, PPMNY’s Education & Research Manager, and live cooking demonstration with Brandy Cochrane, PPMNY Culinary Educator. We’ll break down the confusion around dietary fats and learn how simple choices can support heart health, energy, and overall well-being.
In this session, you’ll learn:
* Which fats truly support good health and why * Which fats are linked to chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and dementia * How to confidently include healthy fats in your everyday meals
Tasty samples will be provided to all.
Come curious and leave inspired!
