Congratulations to the JAINA Eco-Vegan Group that had a wonderful pro-vegan display at the Jaina Convention recently held in Edison, New Jersey. Most Jains are vegetarian; however, they are often hesitant to become vegan. This display shared all the reasons to give up dairy products (Jains that are vegetarian do not consume eggs). Vegan alternatives were also shown.
The Vegetarian Resource Group also exhibited at this meeting and provided free vegan handouts including this article that was well received by attendees:
