November 14, 2018, Vegetarian/Vegan Action Newsletter -- 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. To be removed from this mailing, drop me a note unsubscribe. 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. You can download and print our World Vegan Month posters or use the form on this page to request some. For more ideas on how to mark World Vegan Day head over to our blog post.

External review pending. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Abstract Studies on clean meat adoption have mostly focused on consumer acceptance, but institutional ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ choices by governments, industries, and news media can also delay or accelerate the adoption of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ new technologies.

Ripperda Director Exempt Organizations Internal Revenue Service 1111 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20224 Re: Global Animal Partnership EIN: 20-2234609 The Humane Society of the United States EIN: 53-0225390 Dear Ms. Ripperda: I am writing to alert the IRS to apparent use of charitable funds by a private operating foundation for the impermissible private benefit of one of its disqualified persons. Facts—Introduction Global Animal Partnership is a private operating foundation founded by, and with contributions from, Whole Foods Market. Global Animal Partnership’s sole substantial activity appears to be the operation of a program to certify that certain food products sold by Whole Foods Market. In addition, Whole Foods Market may be paying fees to Global Animal Partnership to provide services that benefit Whole Foods Market. Whole Foods Market Corporation (“Whole Foods”) is a Texas-based chain of premium supermarkets that promotes itself as “America’s Healthiest Grocery Store.” Whole Foods provides both traditional groceries and meat and poultry products, as well as prepared foods. In 2005, Whole Foods founded Global Animal Partnership (GAP), a tax-exempt organization whose principal activity is developing and promoting its “5-Step® Animal Welfare Rating Standards.” In turn, the Standards’ principal use appears to be to certify that meat products sold by Whole Foods Market satisfy the Standards. Whole Foods’ founder and long-time CEO, John Mackey, was a board member of GAP until 2014. John Mackey also serves on the board of the Humane Society of the United States, EIN: 53- 0225390, which is exempt from federal income tax under §501(c)(3) The Humane Society of the Internal Revenue Service TE/GE Division Re: Global Animal Partnership et al.

  • Growing Trend of Veganism in Metropolitan Cities: Emphasis on Baking
    GROWING TREND OF VEGANISM IN METROPOLITAN CITIES: EMPHASIS ON BAKING 1 2 *Kritika Bose Guha and Prakhar Gupta 1Assistant Lecturer, Institute of Hotel Management, Kolkata , 2Student, Institute of Hotel Management Catering Technology and Applied Nutrition, Pusa, New Delhi [email protected] ABSTRACT Background: Veganism is a new food trend is gaining momentum in India. A diet based on large quantities of fruit and vegetables has a positive impact on our health. A vegan diet is based on plants and has increased in popularity over the recent years. Health is the most central reason for choosing a vegan diet. Meat free diets in India can be traced back to the Indus Valley Civilization, and Indian culture shows a great respect for animals in various cultural texts. Every major Indian religion viz. Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism encourage ahinsa that is non-violence toward other living beings. In modern India bakery products have made a way into our homes. Cakes, Breads, Puddings, Pie etc. are a common thing which can be now found in every household list. The challenge is each of these products contain animal based product and people who are following veganism cannot consume them. Vegan baking is a challenge because of the use of various products like eggs, milk, etc. in normal recipes. Several Chefs and companies are working on products that are vegan. Everyday more substitutes are coming and Market is growing with a steady pace. Objective: To study and find out the trend of vegan baking in Metropolitan Cities of India and spread awareness about Vegan Baking. Methodology: The study was conducted by a random sampling survey from cities Kolkata and Delhi, taking the opinions of consumers through a self-designed questionnaire who have opted for Veganism, & their needs.

A follower of veganism is known as a vegan. The term was coined by Donald Watson. The paper highlights the totality of this concept barring the intricacies of the nutritional aspects in detail.

Challenges, The paper Vegan also Lifestyle, brings out India the various. steps taken at global level to increase the awareness of this lifestyle which goes far beyond the plate. Introduction Veganism is a practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, and is also an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals. A follower of veganism is known as a vegan. Distinctions are sometimes made between several categories of veganism. Dietary vegans (or strict vegetarians) refrain from consuming animal products, not only meat but also eggs, dairy products and other animal-derived substances. The term ethical vegan is often applied to those who not only follow a vegan diet but extend the philosophy into other areas of their lives, and oppose the use of animal products for any purpose.

  • The Effects of Animal-Free Food Technology Awareness on Animal Farming Opposition
    1 The Effects of Animal-Free Food Technology Awareness on Animal Farming Opposition Jamie Harris Researcher May 14, 2020 © 2019 Sentience Institute Edited by Jacy Reese Anthis. Many thanks to Matti Wilks, Chris Bryant, Jacob Peacock, Pegah Maham, Tom Beggs, Marta Wronska, and Jamie Parry for reviewing and providing feedback. Abstract There is limited research on the effects of animal-free food technologies (AFFT), such as cultured meat and new plant-based foods that accurately mimic animal products, on attitudes toward animal farming. This study found that providing participants with information about AFFT significantly lowered animal farming opposition (AFO) relative to participants who were provided with information about low-technology plant-based foods or about an unrelated topic. The results suggest that including information about AFFT in advocacy materials can be detrimental to attitudinal change. Information about low-technology plant-based foods had no significant effects on AFO relative to information about an unrelated topic, so does not seem to have this downside.

  • World Vegan Day on November 1 to Promote a Healthier, Better World - TOI Mobile | the Times of India Mobile Site 31/10/13 10:14 AM
    World Vegan Day on November 1 to promote a healthier, better world - TOI Mobile | The Times of India Mobile Site 31/10/13 10:14 AM 31 Oct 13 1009hrs IST Full site Home | Assembly Elections 2013 | More Sections | Scorecard | Most Read | mPaper | Apps World Vegan Day on November 1 to promote a healthier, better world Oct 29, 2013, 07.21PM IST TNN [ Vijay Singh ] MUMBAI: The World Vegan Day will be celebrated on November 1 this year. Vegan is a way of life without animal exploitation, especially, but not limited to what we eat. Vegans eat no animal products - no meat, fish, chicken, eggs, milk or even honey. Sanctuary for Health and Reconnection to Animals and Nature (SHARAN) is a non profit organization campaigning for a Vegan India.. They have enlisted the following benefits of being a vegan: 1. Less suffering from starvation : Today more than 40% of all the grain grown is fed to animals. All this food could be -given or made available- to starving human beings. Eating lower on the food chain is much more efficient. It is said that one billion humans could be saved from starvation if Americans ate just 10% less meat. Imagine what the world would be like if no one ate any meat. 2. Less Water shortages: The world is heading towards a drinking water shortage.
