Having visited numerous vegetarian festivals, I am always impressed by the coordination that has to happen to bring one of these events to fruition. It’s a daunting task by any measure. So, naturally, my curiosity led me to speak with Julie Sutton, who is one of the many people who have put their heads together and volunteered their time and intellectual resources to make this event happen. And it is happening, this coming weekend, April 4th, at Cascade Park in downtown Tallahassee, Florida! Beginning at 11am, the event will last until 3pm. The weather promises light rain in the morning, drying off just in time to grace Tallahassee’s inaugural vegetarian festival with perfect 70 degree temperatures. It seems the gods are smiling!

Cookbook Author, LeAnne Campbell Speaks at Whole Foods in Charlotte, NC!

 

by Danielle Bussone

 

Leanne Campbell

 

Most of us have heard of vegan icon, T. Colin Campbell, author of the controversial book The China Study, which has awakened a nation to the perils of a diet rich in animal protein. In virtually every plant-based venue, be it a vegan pot-luck, a lecture hall or a vegetarian festival, someone (more than likely several someones) will have a story about how reading The China Study was a pivotal point in their decisions to rid themselves of animal dietary products forever, embrace the restorative power of plants, and in the process have turned their flagging health around completely. The story is so commonplace it has become practically banal. We have flocked to his lectures, have attended his seminars and enrolled in his plant-based nutrition program offered by Cornell University. We follow him like star-struck groupies hoping he’ll see our raised hands in the audience and respond to our fevered appeals, “Dr. Campbell, Dr. Campbell…” LeAnne just calls him “Dad,” and commands his undivided attention.

Tallahassee Florida Celebrates First Annual North Florida VegFest April 4th In Cascade Park Downtown Tallahassee!

by CD Davidson-Hiers

 

Julie Sutton and I first met at 101 Restaurant in downtown Tallahassee. I had been put in contact with her as the coordinator for Tallahassee’s premiering VegFest, happening the weekend of April 4th. Julie, along with many other members of the Vegfest committee, were there that night as a social outing, a friendly gathering of vegans and vegetarians alike. The first questions asked were: how long have you been a vegan, and why did you switch?
