It’s World Vegan Day, hooray! Today I’m taking the plunge and giving up my omnivorous ways for 24 hours. No meat, no dairy, no eggs…but a whole world of delicious veggie eating to enjoy. Anyone who’s not already a vegan, I invite you to join in on the fun! Vegetarians, try some tofu in that omlette instead of eggs! Or if you’re feeling really adventurous, take the 30-Day Pledge to Be Veg.
And if you want to add local fruits and vegetables to the mix, check out the first Green City Winter Market of the season. It’s going on this Saturday from 7am to noon at the North Gallery of the Notebaert Nature Museum (one of my favorite museums in Chicago—check out the sustainable house model or just relax walking around in the butterfly haven!).
And if you know anyone who’s fallen victim to those pesky Vegan Myths, check out the veggie mythbusters in action: the Hippyshoppers debunk 10 vegan myths, and one writer from the Washington Olympian tells her tale of how she dispelled the ‘restrictive diet’ with ‘no protein’ myths while becoming a vegan.
Now I’m off to indulge in some fall food goodness with some tasty (and easy-to-make!) Baked Acorn Squash! Yum!
