January 21, 2007

Please join Bay Area Vegetarians for one of our famous Vegan Food Parties in our favorite city by the bay, San Francisco!! Everyone is welcome to attend, both members and their guests, veg and non-veg.Vegan foods and vegan advocacy have come a long way since the word 'vegan' or the concept of 'animal rights' was first introduced. So this is a very special Vegan Food Party since Jack Norris, founder and President of Vegan Outreach, will be our special guest.Jack will address the topic of "Veganism: Does it Spread Itself?"

Jack Norris will talk about the animal rights and vegan movement history. Has the three-pronged approach been a success or should it be discarded? Jack will discuss what's been tried, where we're at, and where we might want to go from here.

Jack Norris co-founded Vegan Outreach in 1993 with Matt Ball. He leafleted at 240 colleges from 1995-97. He now runs Vegan Outreach's Adopt A College program. Jack is also a Registered Dietitian and maintains the website VeganHealth.org.

"This is my protest against the conduct of the world. To be a vegetarian is to disagree--to disagree with the course of things today. Starvation, world hunger, cruelty, waste, wars--we must make a statement against these things. Vegetarianism is my statement and I think it's a strong one." -- Isaac Bashevis Singer
