How often do you find a coffee shop that doesn't even have dairy milk or cream for coffee?  Just this one that I'm aware of in the Bay Area.  Even the breakroom cafe in Oakland had dairy available.  (As I understand it the breakroom cafe has been sold, and I don't know what's in store for it)
Timeless  Coffee has many, many vegan dessert items available, all made by them.  Cinnamon rolls, cookies, muffins, cakes, cupcakes, etc.  Almond milk as well as soy milk for lattes or topping your pourover coffee beverages.

Timeless Coffee
4252 Piedmont Ave.
(between Glenwood Ave & Echo Ave)
Oakland, CA 94611

(510) 985-1360

Hours:  Mon-Sun 8 am - 6 pm

Support your (only) local vegan coffee shop!

Happy New Year!!!
 
A great opinion article by Mark Bittman in NYtimes yesterday.  For those of us that are frustrated with our food system and want to change it overnight, he offers some reassurance on making incremental changes and being patient.
 
 
Lets hope for great advances in promoting knowledge and kindness this year.

Yoga Health Benefits:

Yoga and meditation had been practiced by the ancient Indian Philosophers and sages since time immemorial, and the same is made known to the society for its immense health benefits both for physical and mental health. In ancient times, yoga was practiced to enlighten the people spiritually, but in contemporary times, yoga is being practiced for physical fitness and to manage stress, and to keep blood pressure at normal levels. The Practice of Yoga and meditation is becoming more and more popular for its amazing health benefits all over the world especially in Western countries like USA, and in Asian Countries including India.

In the system of Yoga, our ancient sages and present yoga experts advise and explain structured postures that is linked with breathing exercises, like pranayama (control of breathing exercises), and other physical postures or asanas like, sitting asana, lying asana, upside down or inverted pose, and standing asana. The recent research proved that regular and routine practice of yoga improves physical health, provides relief from stress and augments the feeling of happiness in the people. Breathing exercises of Yoga unites the mind and body, and provides sense of wellbeing and also increases spirituality.
Let us discuss some of its yoga health benefits; routine and regular practice of yoga increases all round fitness. Isometric asanas improves heart health, keeps blood pressure normal, improves blood circulation, and increase the health of cardiovascular arteries. Pranayama or breathing exercises improve the health of respiratory system and improve the process of digestion. Practice of many physical postures, such as stretching exercises reduce pressure, increase flexibility of muscles and ease tension. The postures like weight bearing exercises provide relief from osteoporosis and ease muscle and skeletal pain.

"I became a vegan the day I watched a video of a calf being born on a factory farm. The baby was dragged away from his mother before he hit the ground. The helpless calf strained its head backwards to find his mother. The mother bolted after her son and exploded into a rage when the rancher slammed the gate on her. She wailed the saddest noise I’d ever heard an animal make, and then thrashed and ...dug into the ground, burying her face in the muddy placenta. I had no idea what was happening respecting brain chemistry, animal instinct, or whatever. I just knew that this was deeply wrong. I just knew that such suffering could never be worth the taste of milk and veal. I empathized with the cow and the calf and, in so doing, my life changed."

Easy Resolutions for a Healthy Vegan New Year
Posted: 01 Jan 2013 09:57 AM PST
Happy 2013! There is nothing like a brand new year to inspire health-related
resolutions. And while it's tempting to resolve to make all kinds of big
changes, sometimes a few little tweaks here and there are all we vegans really
need.  Here are ten ideas for vegans—mostly easy ways to fine-tune your diet and
lifestyle. One of two of them might help to make your new year a little bit
healthier.
1. Give some attention to calcium. It's simple enough to get enough calcium from
plant foods, but many vegans fall short because they just aren't paying
attention. Make sure you are consuming at least three cups per day of some
combination of calcium-set tofu, fortified plant milks or juices, or
calcium-rich leafy greens like kale or collards.
2. Lose the "supplements are bad" mindset. Take appropriate supplements of
vitamin B12 (about 25 micrograms per day) and vitamin D (about 600 IUs per day).
If you don't regularly eat sea veggies or iodized salt, take a supplement of
iodine, too. I'll leave the omega-3 fats DHA and EPA up to you. (I take them,
though.)
3. Embrace beans.  Vegans consume less protein than omnivores, which is fine—we
usually get enough and that's all that matters. Unfortunately, protein has
developed a little bit of a bad reputation among some health conscious vegans,
as though eating more protein is actually bad for you. It isn't. Protein is good
for your muscles and bones, and it can also be very satisfying and satiating.
Soyfoods are especially protein-rich, and they also help to fight cancer and are
good for your skin. But all beans are wonderful foods—healthful little packages
that combine protein with fiber and the kind of carbs that boost good bacteria
in your gut. No other foods can make that claim.
4. Eat whole fruits and vegetables. A little juice is okay, but forget about
those juice fasts and cleanses. They're a scam. They do not improve your
nutrition, your digestion or help to "detoxify" your body. (There is, in fact,
no such thing as a "detox" diet.)
5. Eat raw and cooked vegetables. Phytochemicals in cruciferous veggies (the
ones in the cabbage family) work best to reduce disease risk when these foods
are consumed raw. The ones in tomatoes and carrots work best when these foods
are cooked. You don't need to micromanage this—it's fine to eat some raw carrots
and some cooked kale. Just know that neither all raw nor all cooked is the way
to go with vegetables.
6. Eat healthy fats. Include a serving or two of nuts in your daily menu. 
Choose a daily source of essential omega-3 fats—walnuts, flaxseed, chia seeds,
or canola oil. Use vegetable oils with a light hand, and choose extra-virgin
olive oil most of the time.
7. Make use of acidic marinades in your cooking—those made from lemon or lime
juice, tomatoes, or vinegar. In  baked and roasted foods, they help to inhibit
formation of compounds—called AGEs—that may raise risk for chronic disease.
Acidic ingredients also lower the glycemic index of carb-rich foods,  producing
more gradual and gentle fluctuations in blood glucose levels.
8. If you drink, choose red wine most of the time. There isn't a whole lot of
research on which types of alcohol are better (or less bad, depending on how you
look at it) than others, but red wine provides resveratrol, a compound that may
reduce chronic disease risk. It's also the beverage of choice in traditional
healthful Mediterranean diets. If you drink, you might as well choose what
healthy people drink.
9. Enjoy fun food fearlessly. You aren't going to be healthy if you live on
vegan cookies and potato chips. But you won't be unhealthy if you eat these
foods some of the time. It's how you eat most of the time that counts. So build
your diet around healthy whole plant foods, but don't be afraid to enjoy some
treats.
10. Choose foods for health rather than weight reduction. Don't let the new year
be a reason to starve yourself to get down to some weight that you've never been
able to maintain in the past. Instead, eat (mostly) whole plant foods, and find
an exercise program that you enjoy. Honor hunger and satiety signals—eating when
you are physically hungry and stopping when you are full. If you are exercising,
eating a healthy diet, and truly paying attention to hunger, your weight is
probably where it belongs.

MEET KATIE CANTRELL, FOUNDER OF THE FACTORY FARMING AWARENESS COALITION, WED.
JAN. 9 AT 6 PM

On Wednesday, Jan. 9 at 6 pm, at the Opera Plaza Community Room, 601 Van Ness,
San Francisco,  hear Katie Cantrell, founder of the  Factory Farming Awareness
Coalition (FFAC) talk about  the mission of FFAC, and about ways to save  the
environment, animals, and our health through Food Choices.

Katie Cantrell is a UC Berkeley graduate and former president of the Berkeley
Organization for Animal Advocacy. She founded the Factory Farming Awareness
Coalition in 2010 to educate people about the ecological and social justice
hazards of industrial meat production in the United States. Katie has delivered
over 100 presentations on factory farming, and her presentation has been used as
a resource by food justice activists across the country.

The Factory Farming Awareness Coalition (FFAC) is a local non-profit dedicated
to empowering consumers to help animals, the environment, and our own health
through our daily food choices. We give a holistic overview of the ecological,
social justice, and public health impacts of factory farming. It's useful and
informative for both omnivores and long-time vegans.

In the two years since its inception, FFAC has trained 20 presenters and given
over 100 presentations to classes, churches, community organizations, and
businesses. FFAC also won free advertising on BART, which brought the message of
Meatless Mondays to over 300,000 people per day. For more information, please
visit www.ffacoalition.org or on facebook and Twitter @ffacoalition

Katie's pic is attached as a .jpg file.

Before the presentation, enjoy a fabulous full-course vegan and raw dinner,
prepared by a certified Nutrition Consultant, Patricia Allen Koot, NE, NC.  It
is all house-made from quality non-GMO and organic ingredients, totally vegan,
totally health-supporting, made without eggs, dairy, honey, oil or added sugars.

The dinner is all you can eat, as long as the food lasts.  Be sure to RSVP so
the chef can plan accordingly.  And bring a container, take some home with you.

Location is the Opera Plaza Community Room, 601 Van Ness, San Francisco.  Take
the elevator to the first floor, then security will key you down to the
mezzanine for the event.

A fifteen dollar requested donation covers the all you can eat dinner plus the
presentation.  This is only possible because both the Nutritionist and the
presenter are donating their time.  Funds go toward facility rental, food,
transport and other costs.

RSVP to (888) 234-1361 or email to:  rsvp@...

below is Janet Tom's comments on how to sign in for the class, and tips...

CCSF's spring 2013 semester starts Mon. Jan. 14, 2013.

The story is thousands of students are not coming to CCSF because of the bad press about the accreditation problem. I believe CCSF will get through it all right. They must give a big report to the accreditation board by March 15. So... CCSF is thousands of students short of its goal and because of this, they will lose $5m thereabouts from funding from the State. Faculty at CCSF want everyone out there to know CCSF is alive and well and we need students, so everyone, please take a class whether it's for fun like dance or exercise or to learn something academic, like health or nutrition. Credit classes cost $46 a unit. There are also non-credit classes which are mainly classes which give people skills with which they can get a job, for example, computer, consumer, the trades.

Meanwhile there are some terrific classes to take for folks. For instance, Nutrition 12 is an excellent class to learn about what goes into our food and how our body digests it. This is the description:

NUTR 12 Introduction to Nutrition (3)
Lec-3
Credit, Degree Applicable
P/NP Available
The nature and physiological roles of the dietary nutrients, their food sources and requirements. Relation of diet to health and disease, evaluation of dietary adequacy. Examination of current issues and controversies in nutrition.
UC/CSU

It is a 3-unit course. I recommend taking the class from Linda Bacon, who is a vegetarian and also a very honest, ethical person. She has written her own book, which costs about $25, compared to the mainstream textbooks the other instructors are using which cost over $100. 

Here is the schedule. Although all of the classes are closed, the trick is to go to the 1st, 2nd even 3rd class, because people will not show up on the first day, or after they hear about all the work that's required in the class, they may leave. Perservere, it is a brilliant class and you learn a lot. One thing good about Linda Bacon's class is: she tells it like it is, for instance, she shows the class the short film "Meet your Meat." She is very ethical so she does not do research that's funded by food manufacturers or companies.

NUTR  12   Intro To Nutrition

JOHN MACKEY 

- CEO & Co-Founder, Whole Foods Market 
- Author of Conscious Capitalism: A Whole-istic Approach to Capitalism 

John Mackey, iconic CEO and co-founder, is known for his all-natural approach to a mega chain of grocery stores, Whole Foods. His stores are, in part, credited with a boom in the healthy food movement where terms like “hormone free” are commonplace. 

He’s also taken the formula for conscious capitalism and corporate social responsibility to a whole new level and other businesses are following suit. Mackey discusses the transformative business movement where value rests on something more than just finances. Find out more about the Whole Foods story from the man himself.

I echo the call to support City College by taking courses and thereby
supporting yourself as well. I teach American Politics there (POLS 1)
from a progressive perspective and show Forks Over Knives for our health
section.

Peace,
Dan
