Meatout 2011

The first Taos Meetout Event was small but reached many people. it was held Saturday, March 19th at Cid's Food Market:

Thank you to our sponsors: Turtle Island Foods (Tofurky products), Follow Your Heart (Vegenaise), and Vegfund.org.. We served Tofurky deli slices (black pepper flavor), Tofurky sausages, and had a beautiful potato salad made with Vegenaise. To wash it all down, chocolate Almond Breeze almond milk. BTW, the potato salad recipe is from the Peta Vegetarian Starter kit and is the best one I've come across~

We served approximately 200 people and gave literature out to about 150.

Spreading the word:

The reception we received was wonderful; many people were thanking us for getting the word out and were pleasantly surprised at the tasteful meat alternatives.

Even though there was a glitch with our media support (we got our press release in to the local paper by deadline, but it did not run), thanks to the great foot traffic, it was still a party!

Introducing Taos Veg!

This is so exciting! I don't know if Taos need another group, but get one it will. Taos Veg has its own Facebook page (see column left), and will be hosting the Great American Meat-Out in March.

This is a opportunity to get a greater understanding of the diversity and benefits of a plant based diet. Whether one is a vegan, vegetarian or merely veg-curious, a community of supportive people eating a compassionate diet will be available to educate and share great food!

I am currently looking for volunteers to assist with the meat-out. Let me know if you're interested!

UPDATE: Taos Veg just got it's first corporate sponsor!!! Follow Your Heart will be donating Vegenaise for the 2011 Meat Out.
