Learn from a member of the BVS community whose
family has for the last 12+ years run the Cameroon Wildlife Aid Foundatio

mates and workers are fed a plant based diet. \;
In Central
and West Africa\, nearly 5 million tons of bushmeat are killed each year\
, rapidly emptying \;the Forest and endangering primates\, elephants\,
crocodiles\, antelopes\, snakes and many others. Raising population\, log
ging/deforestation\, availability of hunting weapons\, and a growing inter

Jill Robinson\, Founder and CEO of Animals Asia Foundation based in Hong Kong\, will speak on how the campaign to save China'\;s endangered Moon Bear is charting the course for animal protection in Asia.
In 1993\, Jill Robinson began the fir st investigations into the practice of bear farming in China. Her \; d iscoveries changed both the course of her life and the course of animal we lfare in Asia.
Jill'\;s discovery of the bear factory farming in
dustry for bile extraction led her to form the Animals Asia Foundation (AA

AF'\;s China Bear Rescue work has expanded into a campaign to change he
arts and minds about the treatment of animals throughout all of Asia.

"\;An Ecofeminist Perspective on Meat Eating"\;
Mar ti Kheel\, PhD\, is a prominent writer\, activist\, and author of the book \, Nature Ethics: An Ecofeminist Perspective. \; Her articles have bee n widely published in journals and anthologies in the U.S. and abroad.&nbs p\; \;Her primary goal has been to develop an ecofeminist philosophy t hat integrates the seemingly disparate movements and philosophies of femin ism\, animal advocacy\, environmental ethics\, and holistic health. \;
Rather than developing theories for why people should care for&nbs
p\;animals\, she draws on the model of holistic health to understand why e
mpathy and care are absent to begin with and what can be done to nourish t
hem. Similarly\, rather than trying to rationally defend her choice to be
a vegan\, she urges meat eaters to examine the social and political factor
s that support their choice to eat meat.
She co-founded Feminists fo
r Animal Rights in 1982 and holds a doctorate from the Graduate Theologica
l Union in Berkeley CA\, where she is currently a visiting scholar.
Her book Nature Ethics (Rowman &\; Littlefield) will be for sale and si gning. Event Price $25 (regular $29.95) Cash or check \;

How to harvest organic produce every week in your own kitchen with out a green thumb.

Steve is one of the world'\;s lea ding proponents of sprouting\, juicing\, fasting\, wheatgrass\, indoor gar dening\, and pure water. He was christened "\;Sproutman"\; in the 1970'\;s because of his passion for sprouts and indoor gardening and th e nutritious\, organic foods they provide.

BVS has a special affinity with this event. \;
Six years ago when we first learned of it\, BVS contacted the organizers
of Pet Rock about their food policy. \; Learning that the food served
was standard carnival fare of sausages\, hamburgers\, and hot dogs\, we as
ked for a meeting to discuss making all their food vendors serve only meat
-free items -- consistent with their animal kindness mission. \; They
generously agreed\, and Pet Rock became\, along with our own veg festival\
, the second all-vegetarian major Festival in New England!
This yea r BVS is bringing some international vegan food vendors to Pet Rock to add to their vegetarian carnival food offerings. \; A great day to introd uce veggie foods to thousands of non-vegetarian attendees\, while BVS dist ributes veg starter kits\, recipes\, nutrition and \; other info at ou r exhibitor table! \; \;

Is there a proper level of givi ng\, and how do we\, as members of a wealthy society\, justify not giving more to those in dire need.
Join in the discussion on topics like: t
he limits of altruism\; the role of distance in altruism\; links between a
ltruism and activism\; and anything else you want to discuss!

"\;Celebrate Morocco!"\; is the the me for our \;vegan cooking class and full dinner with vegetarian cookb ook author\, Chef Didi Emmons!
Morocco is highly respected in the culinary world\, and for good reason. \; \;Come to a fun combi nation demonstration and participation class. \; We will begin with a one-hour cooking demo by Chef Didi. \; Then we will move into the cafe '\;s big kitchen for a hands-on session\, where we will all learn to pr epare what has been demonstrated. \; Then we will sit down and enjoy a full meal that we have prepared.
Mouth-watering Morrocan Menu (no a nimal ingredients):
* Roasted Tomato Harissa &ndash\; Didi says\, &q uot\;This sauce is worth coming to the class for\, if nothing else."\; \; This is a very special sauce made by drying sweet and hot peppers and tomatoes in the oven\, then pulverizing them into a paste\, adding spi ces\, oil\, and herbs.
* We will prepare quinoa in the style o f no\, not couscous\, but risotto\, which works better for a vegan meal\, adding more flavor with the addition of saffron and wine (no cheese). \; Quinoa (keen-wa) is a flavorful grain that is a complete protein.
* We will prepare a tagine (stew) of roasted vegetables (as local a s possible) and chickpeas.
* After this\, we will drink what i s commonly consumed at the end of the meal - green tea steeped in fresh mi nt\, and we&rsquo\;ll prepare a dessert called &ldquo\;Kaab el Ghzal&rdquo \; \; or Gazelle&rsquo\;s horns. \; It is a pastry dough stuffed w ith almond paste.
Recession era price: $38 \; - incl

It'\;s Earth Month and global warming is on our minds more than ever. \; We are so pleased to present a new Du tch-produced documentary\, Meat the Truth\, which is done in the style of Al Gore'\;s An Inconvenient Truth and presents the case for meat produc tion'\;s impact on climate change. \; It is a must-see companion fi lm to An Inconvenient Truth\, presenting the critical information omitted from the earlier film and contributing to societal discussion about moveme nt towards plant-based diets and thus also a more humane society.
Du tch activist Wim de Kok will be with us to introduce the film and address questions at the end. \; Wim de Kok is Executive Director of World Ani mal Net and founder of several Dutch animal rights organizations. \; H e is a close colleague of the film'\;s producer Karen Soeters and the p resenter Marianne Thieme\, a member of the Dutch Parliament. \; A Dutc h newspaper proclaimed Thieme "\;A worthy successor to the Nobel prize winner."\;
Two years ago a member of the Dutch Parliament joine d BVS at a Dining Out while in Boston for a conference\, and shared with u s a bit about the work she and Marianne Thieme are doing in Parliament for animal protection.

served was standard carnival fare of sausages\, hamburgers\, and hot dogs
\, we asked for a meeting to discuss making all their food vendors serve o

\; They generously agreed\, and Pet Rock became\, along with our own veg f
estival\, the second all-vegetarian major Festival in New England!
This year BVS is bringing some international vegan food vendors to Pet Roc k to add to their vegetarian carnival food offerings. \; A great day t o introduce veggie foods to thousands of non-vegetarian attendees\, while BVS distributes veg starter kits\, recipes\, nutrition and \; other in fo at our exhibitor table! \; \;

Even Chef Patti won'\;t know exactly what the menu will include unti l the freshly picked produce arrives. \;Could it be Stuffed Squash B lossoms and Caponata? \;A summer vegetable soup? \;There was a hint that coconut ice cream may be involved in the dessert.
What we do know is that it will be four courses\, al l vegan\, and a refreshing house-made soda to boot! \;Veggie Planet promises\, "\;One thing we can be sure of\, it will all be delicious. "\;
Some seating is at friendly gro up tables. \;Meet others in BVS -- never hesitate to arrive alone to a BVS dinner!

FILM SYNOPSIS:
Forks Over Knives examines the profound claim that most\, if not all\, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled\, or even re versed\, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed food s. The major storyline traces the personal journeys of Dr. T. Colin Campb ell\, a nutritional scientist from Cornell University\, and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn\, a former top surgeon at the world renowned Cleveland Clinic. Inspired by remarkable discoveries in their young careers\, these men con ducted several groundbreaking studies. Their separate research led them t o the same startling conclusion: degenerative diseases like heart disease \, type 2 diabetes\, and even several forms of cancer\, could almost alwa ys be prevented&mdash\;and in many cases reversed&mdash\;by adopting a wh ole foods\, plant-based diet. In addition\, cameras follow "\;reality patients"\; who have chronic conditions from heart disease to diabet es\, and are taught by their doctors to adopt a whole foods plant-based d iet as
the primary approach to treat their ailments.

We will learn to prepare an intriguing meal that won&# 39\;t heat up the kitchen. \;We are pleased to have vegetarian cookb ook author Chef Didi Emmons teach an original menu that will make this me al unforgettable!
This will be a combination demonstration and hands-on cooking class\, which will conclude with sitting down together for a delicious summertime dinner that we have prepared ourselves.
3:50 p.m. - Arrive\, ch eck in\, greet classmates
4:00 p.m. - Class b egins\, and will go till 7:30-8ish\, including dinner
We will prepare (no animal ingredients):
* Carrot Vichyssoise - a smooth and cooling coconut milk and potato-base d soup that will celebrate sweet\, local carrots and chives.
* Pan Bagnat - a pressed sandwich from Nice in the South of France\, bathed with olive oil and vinegar\, stuffed with s mokey local eggplant\, tomatoes\, capers\, pickled onions and herb compot e.
* Lebanese Taboulleh - This u nique recipe from a Lebanese woman in New Bedford is different from any t aboulleh you have known. \;It is a complete departure from conventio nal taboulleh -- the bulgar is softened by the juices of tomatoes and lem on\, rather than relying on boiling water.
< br />
* Potato Salad with purslane\, sliced fennel\, walnuts\, and b rilliant green dill dressing
* L emon Verbena Sorbet - we'\;ll explore the myriad possibilities of summ er citrus and herb sorbets
* Iced minted tea
Vegetables may vary due to a vailability.
Class begins with a 45 mi nute discussion and demonstration of technique for all the recipes. \;Then we move into the large commercial kitchen for a hands-on session p reparing the meal that we will then share!
