If you’re vegan or interested in joining the Vegan Nation, there’s an all-day conference on the subject, hosted by non-profit organization Vegan-Friendly, on Friday in the Dohl Center in Tel Aviv.

The conference is leading with a keynote speech by Dr. Douglas Graham, founder of the famed 80/10/10 diet.

Graham is a raw food advocate and adviser to athletes and trainers who owns a fasting retreat in the Florida Keys and was a practicing chiropractor before focusing solely on his writing and speaking.

The conference will include lectures and discussions with doctors, nutritionists, naturopaths, athletes and people healed by vegan diets, who will speak about raw food diets, healing one’s body from sickness and the harm caused to the body by various foods.

There will also be workshops on different kinds of vegan cooking, offering practical tools for setting up a vegan kitchen.
