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

VRG Nutrition Advisor Reed Mangels, PhD, RD, did a virtual presentation for\u00a0students and registered dietitians at West Chester University in Pennsylvania, as well\u00a0as a talk to Washington State WIC (Women Infants Children) personnel.<\/p>\n

Reed co-authored Vegetarian dietary patterns and cardiovascular risk factors and <\/em>disease prevention: An umbrella review of systematic reviews <\/em>that was published in\u00a0the American Journal of Preventive Cardiology<\/em>. In addition, Reed co-authored Vege<\/em>tarian and vegan dietary patterns to treat adult type 2 diabetes: A systematic review <\/em>and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trial <\/em>published in Advances in Nutrition.<\/em><\/p>\n

We were asked permission to reprint VRG\u2019s Vegan My Plate <\/em>in an updated edition of Pearson Education\u2019s Nutrition Science to You<\/em> textbook by Joan Salge Blake.<\/p>\n

A dietitian requested teen brochures and nutshell handouts to use at the University of Illinois in Chicago.<\/p>\n

A bookstore in Providence, RI and vegan restaurants in MD, MA, NJ, OH, TX, and VA are offering VRG brochures to their customers.<\/p>\n

VRG gave a box of Vegan Journals<\/em> to be distributed at SEED Food & Wine\u00a0Festival in Austin, Texas. We gave 200 cookbooks, 200 Vegan Journals,<\/em> and 200 I Love Animals and Broccoli coloring books to the Holistic Plant-Based Living Program for various events. VRG also sent 700 Vegan Journals<\/em> and 200 brochures to be distributed at the Vegetarians of Central Florida event, a box of VRG literature to be handed out by\u00a0the Northern Ohio Vegan Advocates while doing outreach, and a large box of Vegan Journals<\/em> and VRG brochures to the Vegan Society of Hawaii for various tabling opportunities.<\/p>\n

VRG had booths at the Charlottesville and Richmond VegFests in Virginia,\u00a0San Francisco World Vegan Fest in California, as well as the Academy of Nutriton\u00a0and Dietetics meeting in Nashville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Finally, VRG is hosting several high school\/college interns and volunteers this year.<\/p>\n

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