The most amazing thing is that Congress is now considering vegetarian and vegan options for children in school. It would make kids so much healthier.

Please call Congress at 202-224-3121, and tell them your city, and they’ll put you through to your representative’s office. Ask your representative to support the new bill calling for more vegetarian options in schools.

Marilu shared her wisdom about changing to a healthier way of eating.

Everyone is at a different stage of their health journey. And it’s all about progress, not perfection! The great thing about health is that it’s very forgiving. You don’t have to worry about whether or not you’re “cheating.”

There’s no such thing as making a mistake, because each day you’re experimenting. And you’re collecting data. But you’re not just in a laboratory… you’re in the laboratory of your life!

After living like this for 30 years, I can honestly say there is nothing better for you than a plant-based diet. When you start changing your life, slowly but surely, to eat this way, you will notice remarkable changes. It may take a little time to figure out what works for you, but sooner rather than later, you will realize… nothing tastes as good as healthy feels!

~ Marilu Henner

This is the basic philosophy of Marilu’s Total Health Makeover® program. It’s a journey to health, and we don’t always make the best choices every day. Overall, though, we do better with practice (community support helps, too), and we enjoy some remarkable changes in the way we look and feel.
