Guest guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Hi Everybody! Today I gave out certain leaflets to cafes/ food joints in Ilford area.I did it along with a vegan friend of mine. We handed them out to Marks and Spencers; Burger King; Subway;Costa Coffee, and a place called 'coffee Republic'. We wrote down a page ourselves which went along with 3 different leaflets printed by Vegan Society.In our own page we mentioned that no.of vegans is growing day by day(presently 150,000 in U.K.) and so restaurants r losing out on this segment of the market if they will not provde vegan foods and drinks in their menu; also, as vegans we find it disheartening on facing a difficulty in finding a vegan friendly restaurant, so that's another point that they should consider.The leaflets which were given out with this page were those having recipes; 'Why Vegan'; Costing The Earth. I AM ON SUCH A HIGH after doing this job today! Talking to the people while giving them our material was a very positive thing to do.Can u believe this. . . people actually listen to you, even if they disagree with most of our statements!Its not a bad start I feel.People out there aren't so negative also as we sometimes presume them to be.Today's leafletting has given me more related work.'Related' coz I need to go back to the manager of Subway and give him a copy of a chapter from a book which I have.Its on Animals' place in Islam.That man thinks its very Islamic to eat animal products. Leafletting is really an easy job to do, once we start doing it.Its an important medium for us to connect to non-vegans. Let all of us keep up the spirit of Novemer month- the Vegan month!And, yes- I could finally do it today, partly coz of u all guys. Initially, my friend wasn't in a mood to do it today coz someother important work had come up.She wanted to do it only in Central London today coz she had to go there today.But I told her I've already mailed to few people that I'll be doing it today so I need to keep my word.I said I could do it alone too.So, finally she accompanied me to some of the places!She is a great support!
