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.

Seeing Through the Fence

In case you missed yesterday’s relish, there will be a showing of the documentary Seeing Through the Fence at the Werehouse tonight at 8:30. The film, by vegan activist Eleni Vlachos, explores factory farms and slaughterhouses, as well as examining the contradiction between how much we love our pets and other animals and yet continue to eat meat. The film also shows Vlachos’ path to becoming a vegan and her family’s issues with her decision.

You can read more about Vlachos and the film here.
