What’s at stake:  The worldview of vegetarianism is “the absolute least that anyone can do to deal with the world’s overwhelming environmental, health, and humane problems.  Adopting a vegetarian diet is the ultimate in empowerment in the face of what most caring people feel powerless to address.”  Susan Cockrell 


Please forward to family and friends, all of them some day possibly vegetarians.

Lets get together and share some delightful VEGAN dishes. That's right, this month, we're focusing on cooking delicious vegan delights to share and experience. So dust off your vegan cookbooks (or visit your friendly local library for inspiration) and lets see how great we can make this thing! Bring your lovely selves, FRIENDS, and some delicious VEGAN friendly food to share (you need not be a vegetarian/vegan to attend). [Check out this article from Grist.org that says 5% of Americans are vegan or vegetarian:


Vegan food does not include any animal products, such as milk, cheese, eggs, honey, etc. Think plants, nuts, beans...lots of plants!

**It is highly recommended that you bring a LARGE dish of your food item (or two) to share, especially as we have invited other vegan groups to this special installment and wish to have an abundant offering!

We invite you to bring a recipe for your dish if you're willing to share! Can't wait to see you all there!

Carpooling is encouraged! Please be respectful of our neighbors when parking...please park in Liquor World parking if you can't locate a spot in front of OMNI!  
Kristin Klemm

GOOD FOOD AND FRIENDLY COOKS OR YOUR MONEY BACK.

What’s at stake:  We must REDUCE MEAT CONSUMPTION not only individually but collectively in order to change the politics of meat, to heal our earth as well as our own bodies physically and ethically, stopping the slaughter of animals and reducing climate change.

FRONTLINE investigates the spread of dangerous pathogens in our meat -- particularly poultry -- and why the food-safety system isn't stopping the threat. Focusing on an outbreak of Salmonella Heidelberg at one of the nation's largest poultry processors, the documentary reveals how contaminants are evading regulators and causing more severe illnesses at a time when Americans are consuming more chicken than ever.

    Fighting for the Future of Food
Rachel Schurman and William A. Munro.   Fighting for the Future of Food:  Activists versus Agribusiness in the Struggle over Biotechnology.   2010.   
Fighting for the Future of Food
How activists changed the trajectory of the new agricultural biotechnologies
Fighting for the Future of Food tells the story of how a group of social activists, working together across tables, continents, and the Internet, took on the biotech industry and achieved stunning success. Rachel Schurman and William A. Munro address society’s understanding and trust (or mistrust) of technological innovation and the complexities of the global agricultural system providing our food.
Rachel Schurman and William A. Munro take a fresh and carefully balanced look at the social movement spawned by this technology. Anyone who wants to understand why groups across the globe oppose genetically modified foods will find this book revelatory.
