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.

Sc.) en environnement et développement durable Option enjeux sociaux et gouvernance 23 août 2019 © Alexia Renard, 2019 Université de Montréal Faculté des arts et des sciences Ce mémoire intitulé Le véganisme au Québec : cartographie d’un mouvement Présenté par Alexia Renard A été évalué par un jury composé des personnes suivantes Sara Teitelbaum Présidente-rapporteure Pascale Dufour Directrice de recherche Laurence Bherer Membre du jury Résumé Dans un contexte d’intérêt croissant pour le véganisme en Occident, cette recherche exploratoire se propose de brosser le portrait des acteurs collectifs du mouvement végane québécois. Loin d’être une pratique individuelle seulement, le véganisme est porté, au Québec, par différents groupes (groupes de base, organisations à but non lucratif et organismes de charité) qui défendent aussi bien les droits des animaux que la nécessité de se tourner vers une alimentation végétale pour la santé et l’environnement. À l’aide d’une analyse de réseaux, nous définirons, sur le plan organisationnel, la configuration du mouvement et ses frontières, montrant la présence d’une structure fragmentée. La recherche se proposera par la suite de cerner les éléments constitutifs de l’identité collective du mouvement, qui repose sur une idée revendiquée plus ou moins frontalement : l’abolition de l’exploitation animale. Cette identité s’incarne dans des actions diverses, non violentes et la plupart du temps légales, qui ciblent tant la culture dominante, c’est-à-dire la consommation normalisée de produits animaux, que les sphères politiques et juridiques, malgré l’absence relative du mouvement dans l’arène politique conventionnelle.
