Vegetarian Heaven

With October being Vegetarian Awareness Month and World Vegetarian Day coming up on Thursday, Oct. 1, the lovely ladies in charge of the Harvard College Vegetarian Society have recently announced that the group will begin having monthly lunches in the Lowell House dining hall to encourage more people who are interested in vegetarianism or veganism to join a community of like-minded consumers.

Anello said that, although the Veg Society’s email list contains over 200 names, a far smaller number of students show up to regular club events. She and co-president, Jessica M. Luna ’10, hope to encourage members of the club and other interested students to participate in campus-wide and Boston-area events going on throughout the month.

The Harvard Coop will be hosting a book signing by members of PETA to promote the organization’s new Vegan College Cookbook (complete with free food samples!) on Oct. 6.

The Harvard Veg Society will also be organizing a vegan baking workshop at the end of the month.

But what’s got FlyBy most excited? The Boston Vegetarian Food Festival comes to town on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, boasting hundreds of vendors and free goodies for everyone who visits. Happy (meatless) eating!
