10 January 2009 – Vegan Food Sample Stall
The average meat eater eats thousands of animals in their
lifetime. By giving up fish, meat, eggs and dairy, the average
person saves 12.5 animals a month. Being vegan is the fundamental
step to saving animals lives. This was the motivation behind
the Bristol Animal Rights Collective (BARC) food sample
stall on Saturday 10th January.
BARC volunteers cooked a variety of vegan
food including pizza, hummus, cakes, “cheese”
scones. We also gave out free tasters of hot chocolate and
soya shakes. Despite the post-Christmas shopping lull, and
bitterly cold weather, a number of people came to the stall,
young and old, to try the range of food on offer. A range
of pro-vegan leaflets and recipe sheets were handed out.
We also collected a number of email addresses from people
wanting to find out more about vegan issues.
Thanks
to Booja Booja, Bute Island Foods, Alpro Soya and Beanies
Healthfoods for kindly donating vegan food for the stall.
BARC do regular animal rights stalls most Saturdays and
Sundays. Please let us know if you are free to help out.
