Brenda is a past chair of the Vegetarian Nutrition Dietetic Practice Group, a group of professionals in the American Dietetic Association. She's co-authored numerous books, including "Becoming Vegetarian," "Becoming Vegan," and "Defeating Diabetes." (Her co-author on the first two books, Vesanto Melina, visited us in 2001 and spoke to the VSC then.) She's one of just a handful of top experts in North America on vegan and vegetarian nutrition -- she's not to be missed!

Anthony Marr is the originator of this tour. He is a world known tiger preservationist, a tireless animal advocate, and a dynamic speaker, not to mention an acclaimed scientific philosopher! He is promoting the Global Anti-Hunting Coalition. He often debates hunters on radio and TV.

Cory Davis is Brenda's 15-year-old son. He is a gourmet cook and a devoted animal advocate, with a keen interest in defending food animals. During this tour he will be operating the 54" Raw Truth TV, which will be showing videos in public places along the lines of the sort of showings in "The Witness."

The aim of their road show is "to bring about a continental awareness breakthrough, to rally the activists from coast-to-coast to concerted action." Continental awareness is something we desperately need! Our society continues to "not get it" with respect to diet and health: a majority of Americans is now overweight, and diabetes is a growing problem in North America, which increasingly affects even teenagers. Yet harmful and unhealthy diets such as the Atkins diet are growing in popularity.

Americans also "don't get it" concerning animals. The threat to the Bengal tiger is the tip of the iceberg of a pattern of global extinction. As so-called "civilization" progresses, animals are heartlessly and systematically destroyed.
