INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — At a presentation of my Eat Right Now program, 9-year-old Olsen Burr approached me and we instantly formed a special bond. It was like meeting myself. Olsen has been a fan of our segment for several years so, I’ve invited him to prepare a plant-based meal for Drew and I.

Reconnecting with earth is.
