But for those who embrace its delicious healthful bounty – through a variety of reasons including, health, morality, spirituality, environmental impact, animal welfare and animal rights – there are limitless benefits. Join us for delicious din …

Variety is the spice of life, says the old adage. I think veg*ns can do a lot of different things as veg*ns, besides just eating together. I do like trying good restaurants, and I do like potlucks, but that's not all there is to life. Veg*ns need to find friends with whom they share other interests, besides a similar diet. In my life, music, dancing, movies, art, theatre, games, literature, dogs, nature, travel, museums, and animal welfare all contribute to my sense of identity, and my feeling t …

You're a savvy chick that has some sort of interest in a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. You're tired of Meetup groups that don't weed out people you won't fundamentally click with because of your morals and values.
