Vegan BBQ on The Food Network

[Guest guest]

There is hope for what some of us refer to as the "Meat Network"! On December 29th at 9 p.m., they will air the segment they filmed of the Compassionate Cooks' Vegan July 4th BBQ. This is a first for the Food Network - never before have they filmed (and aired!) an all-vegan segment. Though this show ("BBQ with Bobby Flay") generally features every kind of BBQing technique with every kind of dead animal flesh, never before have they featured a compassionate BBQ - one that celebrates vegetarian fare only. I have been told it looks "beautiful" and that the editor was vegetarian and thus really enjoyed working on our segment. It airs again on December 29th at 1:00 a.m. and on January 8th at 4:00 p.m.

 

Though the media can sometimes mis-portray vegetarians/vegans, the producer of this show was very excited about our segment and has assured me we're portrayed in a very positive light. Let's watch - and find out! I encourage everyone to write to the BBQ with Bobby Flay show (after it airs) http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_sf/text/0,1976,FOOD_17616_21388,00.html, sending them a huge THANK YOU for doing (what I assume will be a great) vegetarian segment. Encourage them to pass along your email to Food Network execs and to offer a plant-based show on the network.

For the animals,

Colleen
