I started this group because "Scientific Organic Veganism" frames the cause and effect relationship of human behavior to ourselves, to one another, to animal species, and to the planet. The purpose of the group is: 1) To explore our relationship to our individual and collective life goals and purposes for being alive in relation to what we eat 2) To listen to one another on successes, failures, tips, hints, foods, recipes, gardens, farms, food preparation methods, and more. 3) To support events …

You're a savvy chick that has some sort of interest in a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle.

You want to meet other women your age who won't think you're weird when you talk about tofu. Let's meet up and be friends. To keep this g …

HumVeganity events are open to folks of all persuasions - omnivores, vegetarians and vegans. Some say HUMANity, we say VEGANity. What's the difference? Veganity is the vegan way of being human.

But for those who embrace its delicious healthful bounty – through a variety of reasons including, health, morality, spirituality, environmental impact, animal welfare and animal rights – there are limitless benefits. Join us for delicious din …

Variety is the spice of life, says the old adage. I think veg*ns can do a lot of different things as veg*ns, besides just eating together. I do like trying good restaurants, and I do like potlucks, but that's not all there is to life. Veg*ns need to find friends with whom they share other interests, besides a similar diet. In my life, music, dancing, movies, art, theatre, games, literature, dogs, nature, travel, museums, and animal welfare all contribute to my sense of identity, and my feeling t …
