Our first speaker for the new Rotary year 2016-17 was Mr Mark Ramirez who spoke about conquering his entire family's genetic predisposition to diabetes, by following a vegan diet recommended by Dr Neal Bernard's Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine- Mark (a former UM football player from the 1980s) made a compelling presentation and slide show which was followed by many questions from our members...Thank you!
Mark and wife Kim Ramirez are founders of a vegan diet support and advocacy group known as Chickpea and Bean (
