The Challenge
In 2015, a new analysis revealed that over a span of 5 years, cancers attributable to unhealthy eating among adults in the US resulted in direct medical costs of $4.83 billion. These calculations are based on the estimated number of cancer cases associated with eating a diet primarily consisting of processed meats, red meats, and sugar-sweetened beverages.
The Dallas VegFest aims to change the narrative around that problem and equip the members of the Oak Cliff community with the knowledge and tools to live a healthier, happier lifestyle.
