Paul Rodney Turner, the "Food Yogi" is the international director of Food for Life and the founder of Food for Life Global, the world headquarters for the charity. Food for Life is the largest plant-based food relief in the world with projects in over 60 countries that serves up to 2 million meals daily. Over the next 25 years, Paul traveled to 54 countries throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas, helping to inspire and set up new Food for Life projects and train volunteers. He also raised millions of dollars in funds; gave hundreds of public lectures; appeared on television and radio, and met with numerous government officials. In 1994, Paul wrote the official Food for Life training manual and in 1996 he wrote, sung and produced the first official FFL music CD called Prasada Sevaya (Service to holy food). Paul merits the teaching of the Bhagavad-Gita as the foundation of his venture into exploring raw food nutrition. However, it was the example of the "Godfather of Raw Gourmet," Aris Lathan, who got him really inspired.
