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.

Alice Waters in Charlotte

While flipping through a local entertainment magazine I picked up in Charlotte this weekend, I discovered that Alice Waters, the doyenne of the sustainable-food movement, will be speaking in Dana Auditorium at Queens College this Thursday, Sept. 27. She’ll be talking about the Edible Schoolyard and the School Lunch Initiative, programs in which a student garden is planted at a school and the harvest is used to provide healthy lunches for the students. You can find out more about her appearance at Slow Food Charlotte’s Web site.

You can read a recent New York Times article about her here.
