from the publisher
Welcome!
W
elcome to the premier issue of PlantPure
Magazine! This magazine will serve as an
important voice for the PlantPure movement, helping to educate and inspire people to make
change in their communities.
As some of you may know, we are joining with
others to launch a grassroots movement around the
empowering health message of plant-based nutrition.
Science has demonstrated that a whole-food, plantbased diet is optimal for health, not just for preventing disease, but also for reversing serious chronic
conditions such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
This is an idea that also affects our economy, the fiscal
state of our government, the condition of our environment, and the animals who share this planet with us.
In our documentary film, PlantPure Nation, we show
all these connections, and we tell a dramatic story that
explains how this life-changing health message was
suppressed for decades. This film has often played to
sold-out or nearly sold-out audiences across North
America, and it is this enthusiasm for change that we
are leveraging to launch a movement.
In towns and cities around the world, we are
launching local networks called Pods. Using a webbased platform, education, food products, and this
new magazine, we are connecting and supporting
independent groups into a more unified force to
make transformative change in local communities
around the message of plant-based nutrition. Our
goal is to see friends and families coming together
around healthy meals; wholesome foods in school
cafeterias, worksites, and hospitals; physicians who
are prescribing “food as medicine” to their patients;
access to fruits and vegetables in low-income,
food-desert communities; and people everywhere
who are empowered to share this health message
with those around them.
We believe in bottom-up change, driven by impassioned people joining hands in a common cause. For
too long, we have sat back and watched through the
glowing screens of our smartphones, computers, and
TVs a world spinning out of control. It is time for us
to come together to take control of our communities.
This magazine will include content on health, food,
the environment, politics, farming, and anything else
connected to our mission. And it will include updates
that help to inform and connect our Pods, including
feature articles that highlight best practices so that
we can create a massive cycle of social invention and
learning within our Pod network.
Millions of people working together, experimenting and learning from one another, are more powerful
as an agent of compassionate change than all of the
governments of our world combined. Governments
may have the power to suppress information and people, but they are poorly equipped to build a more connected and compassionate world: Compassion flows
through the hearts of people and connection happens
best within local communities.
I see this PlantPure movement as being about
health, but also about so much more. Fundamentally,
this is an effort to create a new paradigm for broadbased social change.
We invite you to join us and to support your
local Pod by helping spread the PlantPure messages
throughout your community. If you would like to

To your health and happiness,
