Why: Animals in factory farms suffer terribly, and pollution, deforestation, global warming, and resource depletion are rapidly destroying the planet.

Animals on a modern factory farm lead lives of unimaginable suffering and die cruel deaths before ending up on the dinner table. Intense competition drives farmers to value efficiency over natural desires. Animals are squeezed into ever smaller living quarters, even as new biotechnology is used to make animals grow bigger and produce more meat, milk or eggs. Lowering the cost per unit is the overriding goal.

Pumped up with hormones and drugs, dairy cows spend a few years in a concrete stall or filthy feed lot before they dry up and are sent to slaughter. Most calves born to dairy cows are quickly separated from their mothers, confined in tiny pens, and then killed for veal after only a few months of life. Chickens are crammed together in tiny cages and have their breaks clipped to prevent them from self-mutilating due to stress. Death is merciless and inevitable: a bolt gun or a knife ends a life spent in hell.

Thousands of people across the country are standing up for animals and the environment by adopting a vegan lifestyle. Vegans take personal responsibility for making the world a better place by giving up meat, dairy products, eggs, and other animal-derived items.

That simple choice has powerful consequences. Veganism saves animals from the horrors of the slaughterhouse, reduces pollution from factory farms, and preserves soybeans and grain--which would otherwise be fed to animals being raised for food--for the millions of malnourished people in our hungry world.

Anyone ever try this?? I live in south eastern PA so it wouldn't be too far from me. It's called Arnold's Way- it's a store and restaurant. I would love to try it, especially since it's an organic raw cafe as well as veg!! :vebo:

Does anyone know some good places to get a vegan meal in New Hope?
Thanks!

hello from nepa!! (around wilks-barre, up in a little place called Harding, although all those return adress stickers i get when i send a donation to some place either say Dallas, or Pittston, or Exeter, thats how completly insignificant Harding is, lol!) :flush:

Are You Interested?

In being part of a Natural/Organic Foods Co-op that sustains our local communities and farms while bringing the best quality healthy foods to your table at reasonable prices?



A Co-op is a group of people with the same idea who come together to achieve a goal. A Co-op is member run and owned. Our goal is one-stop-shopping, A Café, Bakery, and Organic/Natural Food Co-op under one roof!



We need people that are interested in making this happen.

Come with your ideas on Aug 27th at 6pm hosted by Balasia’s at 500 Chestnut St in Emmaus PA.

Will be in Philly for the first time this weekend to race in the Head of the Schuylkill! I hope to hit a couple of good veg places, and now have some ideas after reading this thread. We are staying at the Crowne Plaza in City Center (1800 Market St); is anything in walking or easy-getting-to distance that would also please the omnis I'm going with? We might need to load carbs for that matter....

I'm from western PA and I don't remember how close this is to Center City, but the Reading Market is a lot of fun.

Its a ton of different little stores in the old station. There's more omni then veg*n food, but there's a lot of ethnic shops and you can get vegetarian and vegan cheesesteaks there. :)

Thanks for the Reading Terminal recommendation! We all loved it and I had a hard time picking from SO MANY CHOICES! I opted for the vegan cheesesteak since I was visiting Philly, after all. It was awesome!

Alas, our race was canceled due to weather, but the one time I got to pick where we ate I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Ahh, I'm glad you liked it!! I was so happy to be able to get a Philly cheesesteak when I went there.

Sorry the race got cancelled.

I live in Pittsburgh [=

I'm in Chalfont, Doylestown area of PA, not too far from New Hope (I work 2 days a wk in Lambertville, across the river from New Hope) If anyone is in the area PLEASE let me know I'd be happy to meet up! Looking for vegan support!

Thanks,
Denise

I'm from Erie, PA.

i live in philly and by far, my favorite place to eat is Govinda's gourmet to go..
the vegan chicken cheesesteak is awesome! :)

I'm relatively new to the Philly area but I have found a haven in the western burbs at MilkBoy Coffee in Ardmore. Their vegan breakfast is awesome, I particularly recommend the tofu scramble with vegan scrapple. Solid lunch options and a ton of scrumptious desserts, not to mention the delicious coffee and comfy atmosphere. I hate to rave but I'm surprised so few people know what's going on out there. Anyone else know where to get good breakfast in Philly? I hate having to drive outside the city to get what I'm looking for.

I am outside of NE Philly, near the Neshaminy Mall! Would be great to have a vegan potluck sometime @ my house, and I have jam parties a few times a year too. Also.. I have some gigs coming up in March and April and would be fun to meet some of you there! :junk:

Either way.. very cool to meet other veg's in the area..

:sheep:

Hello! I was born in Doylestown, though I still have a small amount of family in Bucks county I visit every so often. I had the pleasure of visiting New Hope back in December and would love to go back!
I live near Pottstown if you have any idea where that is..?

Cool... Can you arrange a visit with your family around the time I am having my Potluck so you can come? That would be great!! :devil:

Now that each state has its own forum I'll be closing the state threads. Please continue any discussion by starting a new thread in this forum. Thanks!
