My husband and I are Folks Over Knives compliant. We are in our eighties and are entertaining going to a Retirement Community. We are struggling mightily with the foods they serve. Some even have nutritionists but have not even considered plant based diets for those interested. We would appreciate any and all of your thoughts.
Yes, this is a challenge. Here are some suggestions:
1) Talk to the food service director, restaurant owner or whoever is in charge of the food serve and talk to them about your needs. You may give them the Forks Over Knives Cookbook. If they have a menu try and make suggestions on how they can modify what they already have to make it easy for them.
2) Get on the HOA board so you have some power and a voice on decision making and activities.
3) Get involved in club activities and invite speakers to come and talk about plant based diets. Maybe start your own club and grow a group of like-minded people.
Always be kind and patient when making suggestions.
Where are you located? Perhaps I can recommend some people or organizations in your area who can be of assistance.
