John Westerdahl, PhD, MPH, RD, CNS, FAND, will be speaking at THE WORLD OF DA VINCI Luncheon & Tour on Wednesday, August 7 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. His luncheon lecture is: THE SCIENCE AND DIET OF LEONARDO DA VINCI. In addition to discussing Leonardo’s great scientific achievements, I will also talk about Da Vinci’s vegetarian diet and lifestyle and the benefits of following such a diet. Few people know that Da Vinci was a vegetarian most of his life due to his scientific observations, which led to his compassion for animals. The August 7th luncheon will be the last Da Vinci luncheon before the exhibit closes at the Reagan Library in September.

You can contact the Reagan Library for information, reservations, and tickets for this special luncheon event. I recommend you also reserve in advance a special Vegan meal request for your lunch, which is available if you order it. Be sure to request a Vegan meal instead of the vegetarian meal option if you want the vegan meal.
