Will You Celebrate World Vegetarian Day? Every year there are thousands of people making the move to a healthier, more socially responsible way of living. These people care about the lives of animals and want cruelty to come to an end, they want to live long healthy lives and avoid the perils of heart disease, and they want to have beautiful bodies sustained by living in tune with the Earth. Who are these people? They’re vegetarians, and World Vegetarian Day celebrates their decision to eliminate meat and animal products from their diet and live a more conscientious life. History of World Vegetarian Day World Vegetarian Day was established by the North American Vegetarian Society (NAVS) in 1977 to help promote the vegetarian way of life, and educate people on the health and social benefits of making the move to eliminate meat from their diets. As omnivores, humans are capable of surviving in complete health on a diet that contains no animal meat or products of any kind, but are there other benefits than merely a clean conscience? As it turns out, the answer is an unequivocal yes. Vegetarian diets are significantly more healthy than diets that contain animal products, especially when you are conscientious about your fat intake. With a low-fat vegetarian diet you can completely avoid any issues with cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in the United States alone. Not only do vegetarian diet remove animal fat and cholesterol from their diets (especially true for vegans), but they consume more fiber and anti-oxidants, well known for their ability to fight cancer! So profound is the effect of vegetarianism on our health it has statistically been shown to add 13 healthy years to our lives. Need more proof? Just look at Okinawa, where the people with the longest life- span in the world live. Guess what their diet primarily consists of? How to celebrate World Vegetarian Day Even if you have no desire to live a Vegetarian lifestyle every day, give yourself a chance to explore the world that is vegetarian cuisine on World Vegetarian Day. Explore the health benefits and find out how delicious and healthy eating no animal products can be by eliminating them from your diet for just one day. It can even give you an opportunity to try out new restaurants and dishes, just stop in at your local vegetarian restaurant or order off the vegetarian menu at your favorite restaurant. Recruit some friends to go with you and have a wonderful night out, without hurting any animals!.

THE Evening NEWS
THE EVENing NEWS THE EVENing News - Eugene Veg Education Network (EVEN) October 3, 2005 PATRICIA ROBINETT GUEST SPEAKER Patricia Robinett was born and raised, like Dorothy, in Kansas. In grade school her class made a field trip to a slaughterhouse in the Kansas City stockyards and she immediately became a vegetarian. She moved to the beautiful emerald green Willamette Valley in 1988 and decided never to click her heels and never to go back to Kansas. She drove through Kansas a few years ago but did not stop. Patricia is a published author, writing various articles on foods, diet and health in local and national publications. She is currently writing a book on healing the trauma of circumcision and you might have seen her at the Eugene Celebration in the community causeway booth for NOCIRC (the National Organization of Circumcision Information Research Centers). Patricia has taught conflict resolution with Eugene PeaceWorks, was trained by White Bird and volunteered in the crisis department. She now hosts two free self-healing classes each month and facilitates a weekly study group based on the book A Course In Miracles. She loves the internet because it allows her to stay in touch with many long-term friends all over the world by e-mail and she hosts mailing lists that discuss topics such as miracles, healing, psychology, astrology, politics and human rights. Patricia is a certified clinical hypnotherapist in private practice in Eugene. She coaches clients to excellence and health on every level: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Patricia lives in a world where cowardly lions reclaim their courage, tin woodsmen find their hearts, straw men discover their brilliance, and where we’re always safe at home if we just turn our attention inside to our hearts.

Exploring Ireland’s Vegan and Vegetarian Foodscape While it would not be accurate to suggest that Ireland is a hub of veganism or vegetarianism, too often it is written off as inherently unsympathetic to the ethics of plant-based eating and anti- speciesist politics. While it is true that Irish culture is historically tied to speciesism and its economy is especially dependent upon “meat” and dairy production, Ireland’s relationship with other animals is complex and sometimes forgiving. This essay seeks to bring shape to the Irish vegan ethic, one that can be traced along its history of animism, agrarianism, ascendency, adaptation, and activism. From its pagan roots to its legacy of vegetarianism, Ireland’s history has been more receptive to Nonhuman Animal interests than might be currently understood.

Here’s a review of our approach to the Sunday Sessions portion of the Packet: 1. We use an interchangeable component approach. This allows you to reorder, replace or remove the components as best fits your context or time constraints. So while each session is filled with a number of components (Wonder box, reflection questions, story, mindfulness activity, games, crafts, song), you can treat them as options and building blocks. 2. We use an experiential rather than a “school” framework.

The Vegan News"
(QUARTERLY MAGAZINE OF THE NON-DAIRY VEGETARIANS.) Price 2d. (Post free 3d.) Yearly Subscription 1/- NO. 1. NOVEMBER 1944. The recent articles and letters in "The Vegetarian Messenger" on the question of the use of dairy produce have revealed very strong evidence to show that the production of these foods involves much cruel exploitation and slaughter of highly sentient life. The excuse that it is not necessary to kill in order to obtain dairy produce is untenable for those with a knowledge of livestock farming methods and of the competition which even humanitarian farmers must face if they are to remain in business. For years many of us accepted, as lacto-vegetarians, that the flesh-food industry and the dairy produce industry were related, and that in some ways they subsidised one another. We accepted, therefore, that the case on ethical grounds for the disuse of these foods was exceptionally strong, and we hoped that sooner or later a crisis in our conscience would set us free. That freedom has now come to us. Having followed a diet free from all animal food for periods varying from a few weeks in some cases, to many years in others, we believe our ideas and experiences are sufficiently mature to be recorded. The unquestionable cruelty associated with the production of dairy produce has made it clear that lacto- vegetarianism is but a half-way house between flesh-eating and a truly humane, civilised diet, and we think, therefore, that during our life on earth we should try to evolve sufficiently to make the 'full journey'.

Vegetarian-Friendly Supplements Sourcing, Formulating and Marketing for the Meat-Free Consumer
[Vegetarian Supplements] Vol. 20 No. 5 Sept/Oct 2015 Vegetarian-Friendly Supplements Sourcing, formulating and marketing for the meat-free consumer By Rachel Adams, Managing Editor The American Dietetic Association defines a vegetarian diet as one that “does not include meat (including fowl) or seafood, or products containing those foods.” In its position on vegetarian diets, published in 2009 in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, the organization supported “appropriately planned vegetarian diets” by saying they’re “healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.” According to a 2008 study, “Vegetarianism in America,” conducted by the Harris Interactive Service Bureau on behalf of Vegetarian Times, it appears many vegetarians agree; of the 7.3 million Americans that reported following a vegetarian-based diet, more than half (53 percent) claimed to do so to improve overall health. While research does support a vegetarian diet for certain health benefits, including a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease and obesity, a vegetarian diet can also lead to deficiencies of certain nutrients commonly acquired via meat products or animal sources. For this reason, it’s especially important for vegetarians to supplement their diets with nutrients and vitamins essential for good health. For manufacturers and marketers of dietary supplements, vegetarian consumers can provide a unique market opportunity. However, the development of vegetarian supplements comes with its own set of unique challenges; ensuring all ingredients, including inactive ingredients, are not animal- sourced and developing an appropriate marketing strategy is critical to product success in the vegetarian supplement sector.
