This group was started to find vegans and vegan wannabes in the Hudson Valley. We combine Social Events and Social Action by enjoying delicious, healthful vegan food and encouraging others to do so. The more people who choose vegan food, the fewer farmed animals will be raised. You do not have to be vegan to join, just eat like one when you are with us. We get together to learn and to inform others.

Welcome to "Delicious Living". My reason for starting this group was to meet like minded-health conscious people in the area and to support and empower those trying to get healthier. I know that it can get really confusing navigating through conflicting and always changing health philosophies out there.  The BIG secret is that there is NO SECRET.  We just have to eat the way nature intended us to, which is real food, unprocessed, unrefined, and food that nourishes us on a cellular level. I belie …

The thing Artists and Activists have in common is a passion for their work. I hope to mesh these passions in this group. Art, political and social activism have long been happy bedfellows. Think of Picasso’s Guernica Night, Susan Crile’s Abu Graib series, and more locally to Connecticut, the Cycle of Terror and Tragedy, September 11 by Graydon Parrish housed at the New Britain Museum of American Art. As they say, a picture says a thousand words and what better way to convey these kinds of messag …

Curtis continues to enjoy a 100% raw food diet and wouldn't have it any other way. Curtis was mentored by some of the bes …
