  • World Veg Festival 2009
    WORLD VEG FESTIVAL 2010 Sponsored by The San Francisco Vegetarian Society By Dixie Mahy, President of SFVS & Coordinator for WVF The 11th annual WORLD VEG FESTIVAL October 2 & 3, 2010 presented in the San Francisco County Fair Building, in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco was another great success with around 6,500 attendees over the two-day weekend.

  • 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.

    DISSERTATION PROFESSIONALIZATION, FACTIONALISM, AND SOCIAL MOVEMENT SUCCESS: A CASE STUDY ON NONHUMAN ANIMAL RIGHTS MOBILIZATION Submitted by Corey Lee Wrenn Department of Sociology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2016 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Michael Carolan Lynn Hempel Michael Lacy Marcela Velasco Copyright by Corey Lee Wrenn 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT PROFESSIONALIZATION, FACTIONALISM, AND SOCIAL MOVEMENT SUCCESS: A CASE STUDY ON NONHUMAN ANIMAL RIGHTS MOBILIZATION This project explores the intra-movement interactions between professionalized and radical factions in the social movement arena using a content analysis of movement literature produced by the Nonhuman Animal rights movement between 1980 and 2013. Professionalized factions with greater symbolic capital are positioned to monopolize claimsmaking, disempower competing factions, and replicate their privilege and legitimacy. Radical factions, argued to be important variables in a movement’s health, are thus marginalized, potentially to the detriment of movement success and the constituency for whom they advocate. Specifically, this study explores the role of professionalization in manipulating the tactics and goals of social movement organizations and how the impacts of professionalization may be aggravating factional boundaries. Boundary maintenance may prevent critical discourse within the movement, and it may also provoke the “mining” of radical claimsmaking for symbols that have begun to resonate within the movement and the public. Analysis demonstrates a number of important consequences to professionalization that appear to influence the direction of factional disputes, and ultimately, the shape of the movement. Results indicate some degree of factional fluidity, but professionalization does appear to be a dominant force on movement trajectories by concentrating power in the social change space.

Introduction 1 Introduction The Sunfood Diet is the promise that we can become something more – that there is a better way to live. You can be totally rejuvenated. You can walk the Earth barefoot again as you did as a child, feeling the blades of grass beneath your feet, touching the flower petals, chasing the butterflies, watching the ants, thinking clearly and calmly. Within you is the power which will astonish you. Within you are the seeds of greatness, of beauty, of discipline, of excellence, of destiny. This is the last moment of the way you used to be. It is time to give yourself permission to reach the absolutely highest possible state of health. What good are all the possessions in the world if you do not have your health? What good are material experiences if you do not have the intense vibrancy to enjoy them? The Sunfood Diet is the product of a new will-to-health, a new will-to-life, arising from ashen foods like a phoenix all over the world. The Sunfood Diet identifies those foods that allow the body to work to its maximum potential. The Sunfood lifestyle teaches that robust health is the natural state; inspired energy is our natural birthright. It demonstrates how to purify your physical body and unlock the key to your maximum potential. Sunfoods beautify the body, mind, and spirit. They carry with them the vitality of health and life – the vibrant Sun energy that nourishes all life on Earth.

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.

    (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'.
