ACT RADIO: Tracye McQuirter

  Greg, Liz, and Tom talk with author, speaker, and nutrition expert Tracye McQuirter.  Tracye explains how comedian & activist Dick Gregory inspired her to take up a compassionate diet by expanding the notion of nonviolence during the Civil Rights movement to nonviolence in one's food choices.  She explains why her book, By Any Greens Necessary, is a way to empower African-American woman by exploring delicious ways to satisfy cravings, and secondarily, helping improve the health of African-American women, who are one of the unhealthiest populations in the U.S.  http://byanygreensnecessary.com/
