VRG’s Parents and Kids Facebook Group VRG’s Parents and Kids Facebook Group is a forum for veggie parents to ask questions and share answers. Recently The Vegetarian Resource Group asked: What spices and herbs do you use to get your kids to eat their veggies? Here are some of their responses:

– My kids like to dip their veggies in something – salad dressing, hummus, or ketchup.
– Might also try Indian curries.
– Try different profiles — southwestern, Asian etc. Nutritional yeast has cheesy vibe and is much better than salty stuff.
– Garlic!
– Dr. Greger has a spice mix that I use and the kids love it.
– I find they prefer them unseasoned. Maybe a dipping sauce helps but no spices.
– I don’t need spices and herbs to get my kids to eat their veggies. They have been eating them since they ate solid foods and they like just about all of them.
– She prefers them plain but sometimes with hummus or cooked veggies with cheesy sauce or just Earth Balance spread.

The Vegetarian Resource Group will be having a booth at the Harford County Earth Day Celebration at Aberdeen Festival Park in Maryland. Stop by our booth and say hello.

Hello VRG folks. I wanted to share exciting news that The Vegan Grocery Store opened in mid-March of this year in North Tonawanda, a small city located north of Buffalo and southeast of Niagara Falls. The vegan/plant-based community in WNY is extremely happy that this store has opened. They have a wonderful selection of foods, heath and beauty items, handmade vegan items, and (most important) vegan chocolates! The photo is of one of the owners, Jason, standing in front of the store. This is the store’s website: The Vegan Grocery Store.

Thank you for whatever support you can provide to The Vegan Grocery Store!

VRG’s Parents and Kids Facebook Group is a forum for veggie parents and kids to ask questions and share answers. Recently The Vegetarian Resource Group asked: Are any of you sending your kids to a veggie-friendly camp this summer? If so, where? Here are some suggestions they gave:

-Vegan Camp; vegancamp.org (all vegan in Los Angeles, CA)
-Camp4Real; camp4real.com (all vegan in Charlottesville VA)
-Catskill Animal Sanctuary Camp Kindness; https://Camp Kindness/; (all vegan in Saugerties, NY)
-Youth Empowered Action (YEA) Camp; http://yeacamp.org/; (all vegan in Charlton, MA in July and Idyllwild, CA in August)
-Girl Scout Camps; The Girl Scout camps are very veg supportive. They provide a vegan and vegetarian option at every meal and they even provide vegan marshmallows for roasting. My daughter found it very easy to navigate last year.

The Vegetarian Resource Group is an activist non-profit organization that does outreach all-year-long. For example, VRG tables at different events throughout the USA and also sends literature free of charge to other groups/individuals doing educational activities in schools, hospitals, camps, restaurants, libraries, etc. Our ability to continue doing this depends on people like you! Your donations allow us to promote the vegan message whenever we’re called upon for assistance. Please consider becoming a monthly or quarterly donor to The Vegetarian Resource Group.

Thanks so much for your support. You can become a monthly or quarterly donor online here: Donate to The Vegetarian Resource Group
