Summary: Meet Leslie Haas the co-founder of the 500+ member of "Eat Smart, Live Longer" club in the active adult community of Sun City Hilton Head in Bluffton, South Carolina. How do you start a successful whole foods plant based club that meets regularly, has a lending library, and hosts speakers from all over the country? You will have to listen to find out. Leslie grew up eating the SAD (standard American diet) but after watching Forks Over Knives she and her partner, Richard, changed their diet in 2012.
