Chambersburg, Pa. — �鶹�� College will host a “Community Adventure in Healthy Eating” again this year, kicking off with a lecture and dinner at the college on Tuesday, Sept. 22. The program is a 28-day, heart-healthy, plant-strong diet program based on the one introduced by Austin firefighter Rip Esselstyn in his bestselling book, The Engine 2 Diet.

The program will begin at 6 p.m. in �鶹��’s Laird Hall with Mercersburg physician Elizabeth George presenting the results of Dr. Esselstyn’s life-changing work with his cardiology patients and speaking on the topic, “A Research-Based Revolution in Healthy Eating.” The lecture is free.

At 7 p.m., a plant-based dinner featuring produce from �鶹��’s own Fulton Farm will served. Tickets for the dinner are $15 and can be purchased at the door or by contacting Patti Peck at 717-352-3046.

People who participate in the healthy eating program will have a coach and the support of a series of weekly potluck dinners where they will share dishes based on the Esselstyn diet. A how-to “kitchen makeover” session will be held at 6:30 Sept. 29 in Laird Hall, followed by weekly potluck dinners to be held at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 6, 13 and 20 in the Brooks Science Center atrium. A final dinner will be held at 6 p.m. Oct. 27 in Laird Hall to celebrate success.

The program is sponsored by �鶹�� College’s Fulton Center for Sustainable Loving, the Penn National Golf Course Community and the Mercersburg Area Council for Wellness, and is supported by a grant from Summit Endowment.
