Discussions

I have recently been reading "The China Study" among other things. I am seriously considering converting to a whole foods, plant-based diet and am wondering if anyone out there knows of a group in Brandon that I could join or start to discuss the lifestyle, share recipes and ideas.  
 
I am 90% there but need help to deal with cooking/feeding my husband and 7 year old. Both are usually pretty good at trying new things, but still have more of an attitude about the whole thing.  
 
Especially my husband, I want to clean out my fridge, pantry and freezer and stop filling ourselves with the kind of crap we are used to, but find quite a bit of resistance from him.  
 
I am not looking for discussion on the cons of this diet, just some ideas to make the transition easier. One of the things I struggle with also is what to pack for school lunches for my daughter.
