Alice Walker Praises “May I Be Frank?”
Written by Vegetarian Star on June 22nd, 2009 in Authors, Business.
May I Be Frank? is a total makeover show for one man’s diet and life.
In the film, which is in the final production stages, an obese Italian American named Frank Ferrante is taken in by three guys at the Cafe Gratitude for a complete diet 180 to help Frank get healthier, rediscover himself, and fall in love.
If you recall us telling you, Cafe Gratitude is what raw vegan singer and songwriter Jason Mraz chose to name his current tour after.
The guys at Cafe Gratitude coach Frank as the former 10 espresso coffee drinks a day and drug addict eats only organic, raw vegan food for 42 days.
Alice Walker has recently reviewed the film on her blog, and praises the men at Cafe Gratitude for helping Frank reinvent himself.
“Some of us have taken our unruly selves in hand, the prerequisite step for liberation and peace, and some of us have dedicated ourselves to helping our sisters and brothers along. Not for the “doing good” aspect, which is fine, but simply for the fun of it. It is finally, fun, for these three young men to help Frank find his true and radiant self. Or joy, that word for which I am convinced our planet was meant.”
Have you experienced joy in doing good for someone lately? Whether it’s buying a carton of soymilk for your friend to try or warning your uncle about the dangers of trans-fat, is it time you gave yourself pleasure for helping someone along?
