WAPF Members Published in Local Newspaper
The Register Guard
Local Eugene Chapter member and nutritionist, Linda Prout, recently had a feature article published in The Register Guard (Oregon Life, Aug 30, 2010, page D1).
EAT FAT, BE THIN: Much of what you have been told about losing weight and eating healthfully is just wrong
Eating fat actually may help you get thin. An honest look at the research shows fat is not a villain in the war on obesity, diabetes or other diseases of aging. It’s actually the cure. As a nutritionist, I had a hard time believing this at first. But in my own battle with weight, one of the biggest mistakes I made was to cut out fats. I eliminated all the butter, oil, fatty meats, nuts, cheeses and sauces I could. My metabolism ground to a halt, my blood pressure went up, I grew fat and all I could think about was getting to my next sweet fix. Only by adding back beneficial fats did I find relief… Read more
Linda’s article spurred another local Eugene Chapter member to write a Letter to the Editor. Leonard Ablieter’s letter appeared a few days later (The Register Guard, Sep 3, 2010, Letter’s in the Editor’s Mailbag).
Reject Erroneous Food Dogma
I congratulate the author of the article, Linda Prout, for breaking the mold of government/industry imposed food and diet dogma, and the Register Guard for having the courage to not only print, but feature it prominently. For years I have been preaching to all who would listen about not just the benefit of saturated animal fats but our need for them for good health… Read more

Fifteen new members are all that are needed. With the help of local members, I (Lisa) received a free registration in 2007, lets do it again for Yaakov!

Although renewals are wonderful, only new memberships received at the WAP Foundation office by October 31, 2010 will qualify for the free registration contest. The Eugene Chapter has no membership dues, and you may join at any time.
Potluck Hosts Needed!
We will not have a potluck in September. We need more volunteer hosts!
- October 11 – host needed
- November 8 – host needed
- December 13 – host needed (does anyone want to meet in December? Sometimes we take the month off)
Or suggest an alternate date. We can be flexible.
We have received the suggestion of meeting in a park when potluck hosts are not available, and although I like this idea I decided to forgo the September potluck for two reasons:
- We cannot count on the weather in September to be nice enough for an outside potluck
- Holding potlucks has to be something that members of the Eugene Chapter want to do, and are willing to spend their time to make it happen. If there are not enough people willing to volunteer their homes for potlucks, then it is obviously not something that is important to local people.
I hope volunteers for potlucks in upcoming months will come forward.
