Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 http://www.cok.net/camp/feed-ins/ feed-in. noun. The distribution of free vegetarian food, literature, and recipes in front of eating establishments that profit from animal abuse. (A tactic used by animal advocacy organizations to promote meat-, egg-, and dairy-free eating.) Why Feed-Ins? “The best way to win people's hearts is through their stomachs.†Jiggly tofu, sprouts, and wheat germ. Unfortunately, some people think vegetarian fare is comprised of not much more, while others associate meat-, egg-, and dairy-free eating with depriving themselves of their favorite foods. While more and more people are choosing vegetarian foods as a delicious alternative to causing unnecessary harm and death to animals, personal habits and convenience hold back others making the switch to a gentler, more compassionate way of living. Showing vegetarians-to-be that eating animal-friendly fare doesn't mean giving up the tastes they love—but rather only means eating the cruelty-free versions of those tastes—becoming vegetarian suddenly seems much less daunting. When we present vegetarianism to the public in a friendly and welcoming manner, we engage them rather than give them cause to become belligerent or quickly dismiss our message. At COK feed-ins, people are introduced to delicious vegetarian food, see video footage of horrific animal abuse committed by the meat, dairy, and egg industries, and receive literature and animal-free recipes to help them transition to a more nonviolent lifestyle—all in a positive and non-confrontational atmosphere. And our volunteers are on-hand to talk with interested passersby and answer any questions they may have.
