-- OMNI VEGETARIAN/VEGAN ACTION NEWSLETTER, WEDNESDAY (2ND WEDNESDAYS), NOVEMBER 14, 2018. https://jamesrichardbennett.blogspot.com/2018/11/omni- vegetarianvegan-action-newsletter.html Edited by Dick Bennett for a Culture of Peace, Justice, and Ecology http://omnicenter.org/donate/ Forward this newsletter to help advance vegetarianism and veganism. Few activities harm animals and their environments more significantly and on more levels of experience (health, ethics, climate) than the production and consumption of food, especially eating meat, or carnivorism/carnism.

OMNI’s NOVEMBER VEGETARIAN/VEGAN POTLUCK is Wednesday, NOVEMBER 14, 2018 (2ND Wednesdays), at OMNI, Center for Peace, Justice, and Ecology. We start eating at 6:00. All are welcome. OMNI’s director is Gladys Tiffany. OMNI is located at 3274 Lee Avenue parallel to N. College southeast of the Village Inn and south of Liquor World. More information: 935-4422; 442-4600. Or take College to Harold St (at Flying Burrito), turn east (right if you’re heading north). Go one block to Lee and turn left. Go one block to Bertha. We’re the gray brick on the corner, 2nd house south of Liquor World, solar panels on roof! CIcI’s Pizza is not vegan (cheese, unless you want only a salad), but for vegetarians it is maybe the best, cheapest dining out in Fayetteville or NWA. If you are an ancient, it is half price! So you subtract $2.50 from the $5.99 regular buffet. For vegetarians, take a slice or two or three of cheese or spinach pizza and pile on the veggies from their small but quite healthily adequate fresh veg offerings. Two elderly people can eat all they want for $7.80 which includes tax.

VEGETARIAN AND VEGAN ORGANIZATIONS THE VEGAN SOCIETY https://www.vegansociety.com/take-action/campaigns/world-vegan- month Every November we celebrate World Vegan Day( Nov. 1) and World Vegan Month (November), as well as the formation of The Vegan Society. World Vegan Month is celebrated around the world as a time to recognise how far the vegan movement has come, to highlight how accessible and beneficial a vegan lifestyle can be and to encourage the vegan-curious to adopt veganism by sharing advice, recipes and ideas. The history of World Vegan Month The Vegan Society first began as an offshoot of The Vegetarian Society in November 1944, when Donald Watson, Elsie Shrigley and friends felt the important need to distinguish the difference between not eating meat, and not eating any products from animals. We began celebrating the founding of The Vegan Society in 1994 and every year since, November 1st has been marked as World Vegan Day, with its significance growing to be internationally recognised. In a natural progression, World Vegan Day evolved into World Vegan Week and now, what we celebrate as World Vegan Month; where vegans and veganism is celebrated in workplaces, shops, restaurants and in homes all over the world. How you can celebrate People around the world choose to mark World Vegan Month in an array of different ways. You could host a vegan lunch at work or a vegan dinner party with friends; commit to taking part in vegan outreach in your local community; share your favourite vegan recipes on social media or even challenge your friends, family or work colleagues to go vegan for 30 days by taking our Vegan Pledge. However you choose to mark World Vegan Month, be sure to share it far and wide using the #WorldVeganMonth and #WorldVeganDay hashtags on social media and tag us on Facebook and Twitter using the handle @TheVeganSociety, we would love to see what you get up to! If you are planning an event and would like to use the official World Vegan Month logo, it can be downloaded as a jpeg or png.

The Expanding Moral Circle, Revisited Acknowledgments Notes Bibliography Index PRAISE “Reese’s work shows his deep concern for animals and makes clear why others should share it.” —Kirkus Reviews “Places the issue of factory farming in the context of human progress and presents compelling arguments on how we should deal with it today.” —Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of The Better Angels of Our Nature and Enlightenment Now “History has been marked by turning points like the invention of electricity and the advent of information technology. The End of Animal Farming persuasively argues that the next revolution will be a global transition to non-animal meat and milk. The animal-free food revolution will save the world, and this book is leading the way.” —Maneka Gandhi, Indian Cabinet Minister for Women & Child Development “The End of Animal Farming makes an airtight case that the future is plant-based. It’s the perfect uplifting gift for your flexitarian, vegetarian, and vegan friends.”—Dr. Michael Greger, author of How Not to Die “In this important and riveting book, Jacy Reese proves that cool rationality and warm compassion aren’t opposites. In fact, they make a great team. Reese argues persuasively that factory farming is one of the great moral crises of our day—and he provides a useful road map for ending it.”—A. J.
