*PARTY*PARTY*PARTY*

 

For those of you living in the New York

or Philadelphia metropolitan areas:

 

This Sunday (May 27, 2001), the American

Vegan Society (AVS) will be celebrating

their 41st annual convention in Malaga, New Jersey.

 

A picnic lunch (with strawberries and

vegan cream) begins at 12 noon.

 

AVS will be hosting an enormous book and

video sale in which all cookbooks, tapes,

activist books, etc. will be discounted by 20%.

 

There will also be a guest speaker. I've heard him

before, and he's not bad. ;>) Who? Me!

 

The NOTMILKMAN: Robert Cohen: 2 PM

DIRECTIONS (from New York city area)

 

Take New Jersey's Garden State Parkway

South to Exit 36. Take Route 40 West for

approximately 40 miles into Malaga. At the

traffic light, turn left onto West Boulevard.

Follow that for 1/2 mile, turn right onto

Dinshah Lane. You will see SUNCREST

at the end of the block (behind the long

white AVS office building).

 

Today I received my copy of the premiere issue

of American Vegan Magazine. The subtitle is:

 

Ahimsa Lights the Way.

 

Ahimsa is a Sanskrit term meaning non-killing,

non-injuring, non-harming. The American

Vegan Society (AVS), publisher of American

Vegan Magazine, defines ahimsa in daily

life as " Dynamic Harmlessness. "

 

The American Vegan Society was founded in

1960 by Jay Dinshah. His work is now

continued by Freya Dinshah.

 

The magazine accepts no paid advertising, and

the first issue contained 32 pages of interviews,

articles, recipes, and vegan resources.

 

WHAT IS A VEGAN?

 

Freya defines vegans (pronounced VEE-guns)

as those who live on products of the plant kingdom,

so exclude flesh, fish, fowl, dairy products (animal

milk, butter, cheese, yogurt, etc.), eggs, honey,

animal gelatin, and other foods of animal origin.

 

Veganism also excludes animal products such as

leather, wool, fur and silk in clothing, upholstery, etc.

Vegans usually also make the effort to avoid the

less-then-obvious animal oils, secretions, etc., in

many soaps, cosmetics, toiletries, household goods,

and other common commodities.

 

The magazine costs $20 per year. Please

. Doing so supports a great organization.
