Hard News Vegan
Triangle Vegetarian Society
Hard News Vegan
Hard News Vegan is produced by Pamela Rice, author of 101 Reasons Why
I'm a Vegetarian,
both pamphlet and book. Ms. Rice sees veganism as more
than a just a peculiar dietary lifestyle:
It's a political stance, as
far as she's concerned. Her greatest hope is for vegans to get off the
sidelines and into the policy arena. Ms. Rice can be contacted via the
VivaVegie
Society website: http://www.vivavegie.org or by emailing her
directly: PamelaPodcast@vivavegie.org
====>Click to hear "Veal crate, pro-veg'n demonstration at Astor Place, NYC"
4 November 2007 - This Podcast is an on-the-spot account of a great outreach event
with the VivaVegie Society. Pamela Rice, Hard News Vegan, and five
compatriots set up a to-spec veal crate at Astor Place in New York City.
Several activists took turns sitting inside it, making a particularly
powerful image for passersby and passing cars. Activists held pro-veg'n
signs, passed out information about the veal crate. And when they got a
chance, they also distributed "101 Reasons Why I'm a Vegetarian."
Several people are interviewed in this podcast. Later, the activists
trade accounts of their experiences at the demo over a late lunch.
====>Click to hear "Two Days in the Life of a Vegan Activist"
24 September 2007 - This Podcast recounts 2 days in the life of vegan activist Pamela
Rice in New York City. Pamela laments the priorities of society, and, in
particular, the NYPD, at an Italian street fair. She lambastes today's
young vegans who should be out there shoulder to shoulder with other
vegan activists. Until we show the numbers, the meat eaters will walk
all over us vegans, the planet, and the animals.
====>Click to hear "Salmonella On Spinach"
3 September 2007 - With this Podcast, I focus on yet another spinach
recall, this time Salmonella is the contaminant. Last year it was E.
coli O157:H7. What's going on here? Suddenly, raw fruits and vegetables
are one of the most likely food categories to be contaminated with
pathogens? And why did produce producers ask to be regulated last year?

Triangle Vegetarian Society
ABOUT TVS
The Triangle Vegetarian Society was founded in 1986 in the Triangle
(Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) area of North Carolina. We try to build a
sense of community among vegetarian and vegetarian-interested people,
and are open to all.
We have at least two events a month - a restaurant review and at least
one potluck. Some of our potlucks are purely social, while others are
oriented around a talk -- the Buddhist Society talking about Buddhism
and vegetarianism, TVSers engaging in a roundtable discussion of ethics,
the Green Party talking about political issues relevant to the ecology
and vegetarianism, etc..
Our restaurant review group meets every month at an area restaurant and
evaluates the establishment's food and service from a vegetarian point
of view.
HOW TO JOIN
Join the Triangle Vegetarian Society and participate in activities with
other vegetarians! Our membership is open to all vegetarians as well as
to those who, while not vegetarians, desire to support the group. Please
visit our webpage: http://www.trianglevegsociety.org/about.html

Larry Green - Kinesiology and Animals
10 November 2007 -
Kinesiology is the science and art of muscle testing, a biofeedback tool
that allows us to access information about a living being physically,
structurally, nutritionally, emotionally, mentally, energetically and
spirirtually. It can be used both on animals - human or not. Larry often
works with animals to help clear up physical, emotional and behavioral
challenges. This talk will begin with a brief introduction to
kinesiology and a short demonstration. Then he will share some of the
work that he has done with animals and what sorts of things can
successfully be done. He will teach a simple stress relief technique
that can be helpful for both people and their companion animals.
Larry Green, a vegetarian since 1974, is a certified kinesiology
instructor and trainer. He has been involved with complementary health
for over 25 years, and has been a student of kinesiology since 1990.
Larry and his wife Arlene operate the U.S. Kinesiology Training
Institute in Chapel Hill, which attracts students from around the
country and overseas. Larry also offers classes in gourmet vegeatrian
cooking.

Question: "What are the two or three most important ethical issues of our time and what can or should we, as individuals, do about these issues?"
At our joint potluck between the North Carolina Society for
Ethical Culture and the Triangle Vegetarian Society on September 22,
2007, we had a group of 3 panelists from each group. Each panelist had
one minute to quickly introduce him or her self and then 6 minutes to
address the question. We allowed 1 minute for any quick clarification
questions to be raised and addressed, and then had time at the end for
longer questions.
