Veg Books Top the Best Seller List |
|
 |
Jonathan Safran Foer’s new book Eating Animals has been getting a ton of great press for ethical vegetarianism. Along with Alicia Silverstone’s book, The Kind Diet, and Tal Ronnen’s book, The Conscious Cook, Eating Animals has even made it onto the Amazon.com Top 100 Bestsellers List. Any one of these books would make great holiday gifts for your meat-eating friends and family. Read more… |

See VegWorcester’s flickr page for photos of us at the 14th annual Boston Vegetarian Food Festival. A big thank-you to Vegan Outreach for sharing some space on their table with us. Over the two days, we gave out hundreds of copies of our 2009 Guide to Vegetarian Dining in Worcester. |

Notes on a Vegan Thanksgiving in Worcester |

Clark’s veg group out-did themselves with their annual vegan Thanksgiving. They had a line out the door.
The Telegram & Gazette mentioned veganism in their Thanksgiving feel-good article. Didn’t get to have a Tofurky for Thanksgiving? Well, you can always get one for ChristmaHanuKwanzaakah. Find out where to get a Tofurky roast in Worcester… |
We Need Outreach Volunteers
Outreach is the most important thing that activists can do to help animals. This month join us while we give out leaflets at local concerts and other events.
Each month VegWorcester members setup tables at various festivals and public events. We give out free information about factory farming and about becoming a vegetarian. We also go to concerts and other public events to hand out leaflets. Leafleting is a tremendously effective use of time. With only an hour or so, a couple of volunteers can reach hundreds of people and encourage them to consider vegetarianism.
Below is a list of some possible outreach events. Email drew@VegWorcester.com to help leaflet or table at any of these events.
