The four speakers I am most looking forward to at this year’s NYC Vegetarian Food Festival are all appearing on the Mercy For Animals Stage on Saturday. Brendan Brazier 12-1pm Dr. Michael Greger 2-3pm Matt Frazier (No Meat Athlete) 3-3:45pm Ashley Byrne (PETA) 4-4:45pm Vegan triathlete, Brendan Brazier, the force behind Vega, will likely be a big draw. One of the, if not thee, most notable faces (and bodies) on pro-vegan athleticism, Brazier’s advice on training is highly sought-after. Not really sure how the speaker series will be run, but I’m hoping to get there early just to make sure … Continue reading Chaining Myself To The Mercy For Animals Stage

Herbivore Clothing – If I could … Continue reading Take Two a Day And See Me At the Festival

However, it turns out there will be two events! The Green Holiday Festival will be held December 11, 2011 and the 2012 NYC Vegetarian Food Festival will be held March 3rd and 4th (yes, two days!). Both are slated to again be held at the infamous Altman Building; the festivals will reportly be in a larger area, though. (We’ll see how that works out.) A potentially good and rewarding strategy … Continue reading Whispers of NYCVFF Parte Duex
Sandwiched between the good eats and sweet treats at the 1st NYC Vegetarian Food Festival, were a number of organizations. Potentially overlooked between the decadent cupcakes and vegan fast food, groups like these are the backbone of veg*ism; some putting in the long hours to fight through the red tape around sanctioned animal cruelty. Here are just a few paving new roads to the future and fueling our minds. NY CLASS Horse drawn carriages in NYC were necessary…a hundred years ago. If you feel the mean streets of the city are no place for these creatures, this organization is for you. Mercy For Animals Battling cruelty to farmed … Continue reading NYCVFF Had Food for the Body and Mind
