Here\u2019s\na sampling of some of our accomplishments and outreach:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf\nVRG Nutrition Advisor Reed Mangels, PhD, RD, did a webinar on a Plant-Based\nDiet for 31 Days. Reed also spoke at six virtual seminars for the San Jose\nPublic Library in California. There were separate sessions for teens and\nparents. VRG interns assisted. Reed also supervised a Mexican graduate student\nintern from Wageningen University in the\nNetherlands who completed an extensive project on vegan\nLatin American foods high in calcium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf\nOur VRG volunteer health coach Marcia Schveibinz conducted a webinar for the\nLafayette, Louisiana Public Library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf VRG commissioned a YouGov national youth poll to\nfind out how many 8- to 17-year-olds are vegan or vegetarian. Results are\npublished in Vegetarian Journal<\/em> and\nat vrg.org<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf The Vegetarian Resource Group submitted comments to\nthe Food and Drug Administration on Labeling of Foods Comprised of or\nContaining Cultured Seafood cells. See: vrg.org\/blog\/2021\/03\/10\/the-vegetarian-resource-group-submitted-this-testimony-to-the-fda-concerning-labeling-of-seafood-produced-from-cultured-seafood-cells\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf VRG researcher\nJeanne Yacoubou did a podcast with one of VRG\u2019s interns discussing the\nenvironmental impacts of diets. Based on his questions, Jeanne will also be\ndoing some updated research on chocolate, bone char, and gelatin. We\u2019ll report\non this in the future. Jeanne also compiled a list of several recent (2015 to\nthe present) scientific reports that reveal the relationships between dietary choices\nand our climate crisis. See vrg.org\/blog\/2021\/02\/24\/vegan-and-vegetarian-diets-and-our-climate-emergency-scientific-updates-2015-2021\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf VRG\ndonated money to Land of Kush (a vegan restaurant in Baltimore, MD) to give away\nvegan meals to needy individuals. We also sent I Love Animals and Broccoli and\nEl Arco Iris Vegetariano coloring books to a group in Florida coordinating\nVegan Restaurant Week in their area, and that wanted to give a packet to\nfamilies as they picked up meals. VRG exhibited at the Richmond VegFest in\nVirginia. Finally, VRG hosted over 25 virtual interns\/volunteers this past year.\nThey all worked\/ are working on a number of exciting projects!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is just a small\nsampling of what we are doing at VRG every day. Thank you so much! We couldn\u2019t\ndo this without your support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
