VEGAN EDUCATION
The Vegetarian Resource Group helped a European start-up find information on co-packers who specialize in vegetarian products. VRG's Food Service Advisor Chef Nancy Berkoff, EdD, RD, participated on an Oldways panel discussing creating plant-based solutions for health-care settings. Nancy continues to work with the City of Long Beach, CA, senior citizens programs to provide education and incorporate vegetarian menus. She also continues to teach several vegetarian courses at local colleges and universities and to consult with several skilled nursing facilities to assist with vegetarian menus.
