CARLA GOLDEN

There are a lot of questions you may have about living a plant-based lifestyle, and Carla Golden has made it her mission to answer them. Through her Palmetto Plant Eaters Club, founded in 2015, she holds a monthly meeting in Bluffton that welcomes all comers, from seasoned veterans to those curious about a wholesome vegan lifestyle. Guest speakers, films and informative dialogue help demonstrate how a healthy, plant-based diet can prevent and in many cases reverse chronic lifestyle diseases. And once a year, she and her club host Lowcountry VegFest at Shelter Cove Community Park, celebrating the many ways you can enjoy a nourishing and conscientious lifestyle that’s enjoyable, healthy, environmentally friendly, and compassionate. This year’s VegFest will be held on Oct. 19. It and all Palmetto Plant Eaters Club meetings are free and open to the public.
