Veggie Food Extravaganza Comes to Redditch

Redditch Vegetarians & Vegans | 05.10.2005 09:48 | Animal Liberation | Ecology | Health | Birmingham

Redditch`s first ever Free Veggie Food Fair will take place this coming Saturday, 8th October, between 10.30am - 3pm at St Stephens Church(Redditch Town Centre). The event is being organised by the recently formed Redditch Vegetarians & Vegans(RVV) group. There will be a huge range of delicious, mouthwatering food to sample and all of it will be FREE. This is an ideal opportunity for anyone seeking a healthier, more ethical, eco-friendly lifestyle to taste food that they have perhaps never tried before.

Everything from burgers, biscuits & bhajis to sausages, samosas & soup will be on offer. Also dairy-free ice cream, nut roast, falafel, pizza, quiche, sausage rolls, a range of irresistible cakes & confectionery, refreshments, and lots more. There are so many delicious alternatives to meat available these days - try them all for FREE at this event.

There will also be various stalls selling a wide variety of cruelty-free goodies including nutritional wallcharts, badges, stationery, books, vegan cosmetics/toiletries, chocolate, clothing and lots more. There will be lots of free literature available, including recipe booklets, magazines, nutritional info, and loads of factsheets/leaflets detailing the many benefits of the veggie/vegan diets - ie it`s far healthier, more environmentally friendly, saves animals, prevents world hunger(only 35 per cent of the world's people can be fed on a meat-based diet. A plant diet could feed everyone) etc. Check out the following links for more info.

Mark Higgins of RVV says, "Anyone who doubts that veggie food is delicious & healthy should come along and try it, we guarantee you won`t be disappointed! With free food & free entry, you can`t go wrong!"

"After the news that junk food is to be banned in schools, we seized the opportunity to write to every school in Redditch. Every pupil, parent, teacher and all kitchen staff have been invited to come along to our fair and sample delicious & healthy veggie food."

"Free food fair`s are becoming increasingly popular across the country, and at each event crowds of meat eaters flock to taste the dazzling delights of nutritious vegetarian & vegan food. Similar events have already taken place this year at Solihull & Coventry, each were packed out from start to finish."

"As well as showing the public that a healthy vegetarian lifestyle is anything but boring, we also hope the food fair will attract new members for our group. Although promoting the many benefits of vegetarian/veganism is our main focus, RVV hope to meet up regularly for social events, meals out, country rambles, outings etc."

If you`re already veggie/vegan and you`d like to help turn Redditch people cruelty-free, there are many ways you can help us on the day - including leafletting outside the venue, serving food, helping to run stalls or even washing up!
