\nThank you to volunteer Marcia Pearson who had a Vegetarian Resource Group booth at the Everett Community College Food Day event. Marcia has been a vegan activist since the 1970\u2019s, and one of the original \u201ccruelty\u2019free\u201d campaigners to standardize the term. <\/p>\n

Marcia reported that at this event there was \u201cQuite an improvement from the late 1970\u2019s and 1980\u2019s when the animal industry would come in to the Home Economics course and do the lesson plan for the week. Now there is not Home Ec, but a very good nutrition department.\u201d At this Food Day event, besides VRG, they had representatives from Meatless Mondays, Vegetarians of Washington, and Vegan Haven, a vegan store in Seattle\u2019s university district. http:\/\/www.veganhaven.org\/main\/index.html\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was mandatory attendance by all nutrition students. Nutrition students had to have their \u201cpassports\u201d stamped by each Food Day booth. When full, they qualified for a raffle ticket. So it was good motivation for students to take information and talk to the tablers. Across the hall in another room they had cooking demos. A nice student brought me a sample of a classic pasta and tomato sauce with some large kidney beans added. Practical and within a student budget. The pasta was tasty. However, I\u2019m so glad The VRG Vegetarian Journals and brochures showed more interesting recipes that were flavorful and economical for students. Throughout the day there were crowds of students taking \u201crequired reading.\u201d I\u2019m glad I had VRG\u2019s Spanish brochures; I handed out perhaps a dozen to those who were bilingual. VRG\u2019s Save Our Water brochure was also picked up by many, as the non-vegetarian tables dealt with Fair Trade and Water issues. Thank you also to Judy Woods of Vegan Haven for all her help and outreach.\u201d<\/p>\n
