Speaking Synopsis for J. Morris Hicks
Many authors speak about promoting health through diet, a handful speak about the environmental impacts of our diet and even fewer speak about a pragmatic, workable idea for solving the alarming environmental dilemma that threatens our civilization. J. Morris Hicks may very well be the ONLY author in the world who speaks passionately about all three.
An engineer and business executive for more than forty years (including a stint with Ralph Lauren as EVP), he became curious about the optimal diet for humans in 2002.
Since then, he has spent more than 10,000 hours studying the topic, has published two books, posted over 900 articles at hpjmh.com, created the 4Leaf Model for healthy eating and the 4Leaf Survey (now used by eCornell) and online at 4leafsurvey.com, served on the board of the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies since 2012 and continues to work on many initiatives related to his mission of promoting health, hope and harmony on planet Earth.
Speaking. Since publishing his first book in 2011, he has spoken at colleges, junior high schools, civic organizations, health conferences and vegetarian groups in Connecticut, Canada, Massachusetts, Dominican Republic, Arizona, Kentucky, Italy, Colorado and at the Harvard Club in New York City.
