Hello! My name is Dawn Mckenna and I'm hosting this meetup to support slow food with the hope that more people will take the time to enjoy life and fellowship over food. Slow food is a reaction to a fast food lifestyle predominant in today's culture. it's about more than food; it's about connecting to the wider social, environmental and spiritual elements around us. The most important thing, in my opinion, about the movement is that good food and atmosphere bring people together - family, friend …

We are born with genetic tendencies of succumbing to chronic, degenerative diseases that we inherit from our parents. We grow up being told that how our health goes as we age is mostly dictated by our genes. In my case, my father died from a heart attack at the age of 52. Heart attacks also claimed the lives of both of my grandfathers. It looks like the odds are against me. What if the foods we eat have more to do with the expression of our genetic tendencies than our genes? Over the last 12 y …
