JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out

Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

Carolina Vegan Association

Saturday was a lovely day for the Piedmont Envorinmental Alliance’s Earth Day Fair at Wake Forest University. It was a lot of fun, with good entertainment, varied and informative vendors, and plenty of delicious food and samples.

I was especially happy to learn about the Carolina Vegan Association, a relatively new group that holds “meetups” around the Triad. The members at the fair were friendly, outgoing folks, with a lot of good information and plenty of tasty samples at their booth. A vegan “chicken salad” really wowed all of us who tried it.

The group plans a meetup during the next First Friday Gallery Hop, May 1 in Winston-Salem’s Downtown Arts District. Look for their table outside the Fabric Co. store.
