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.

House (Lee Ave in Fayetteville)
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!

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.
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.
