Vegetarian Summerfest

I recently attended Vegetarian Summerfest in Johnstown, PA. I learned so much and enjoyed the company of over 600 vegetarians during this five day event. People stayed overnight, ate together and attended a great selection of classes on the various aspects of being a vegetarian.

I created a video during one of the dinner meals but it was too long, so I split it in half. Here is the second half of the video, the part where I interview a few folks that I see as I walk around the room. I hope it gives you an impression of the fun the attendees had, including me! Here is the video:

Giving Up Cheese

After a while, giving up cheese is not so difficult. At first it may seem extremely hard. But the interesting thing is that in time, you may even grow to dislike the taste of cheese. I feel that way now, after one year.

Not so difficult after all, and the wonderful aspect is that you are also giving up the yucky hormones that are certainly terrible for you! (You are also saving a cow from a life of continual pregnancies and ultimate slaughter.)

Here is a video I created with a dinner suggestion:

Here is a good list of weblinks that I found:

While on it, I discovered some interesting vegan forums. One had a question: Do you have any vegan friends?

Meeting Up

Has anyone gone to a Meet Up? I may go to a vegan meet up in a week or so. This will be the first time that I join a group of "strangers" to meet fellow vegans. Has anyone else done this? What has been your experience?

This is a really well done video about choices connected to our values:

Green Tea

This is a fun hobby for a vegan who wants to live a healthy lifestyle. Watch this to see my see the second youtube video I ever made - a description of the teas I have been enjoying and a quick tour of my house and the Zarafina Tea Maker.
