Bo Rinaldi became a vegan at age of 12 after reading the book Back to Eden. Because of Bo’s severe allergies, his doctor gave his mother the book, which Bo absorbed within months. In the process, Bo became an herbalist and vegan cook, and fully cured before he was 13. Bo never looked back, playing a key role in dozens of health food stores, restaurants, and companies in the Southern California Sixties. Bo shares his passion for transformation through the Blossoming Lotus Restaurants and Vegan Fusion World Cuisine–shining examples that a plant-based diet is easy, fun, and healthy. After much deep thought and experience, Bo believes that the best way to enhance all aspects of the human condition, from Peak Oil to the Health Care crisis, just might be a plant-based lifestyle.
