Just wanted to do a shout out to all the Tennessee peeps!

Wow, I was surprised to see how long it's been since someone posted about Tennessee!

Um, yeah, I know my avatar still reads "flvegnewbie", but I'm no longer in Florida. We just moved back here in April, so I'm trying to adjust to life as a vegetarian in a completely no-veg. atmosphere!

I live just west of Cookeville, in a little podunk town!
Thankfully the Kroger store in Cookeville does a decent job of keeping some veg. food supplied.
Other than that, there's not a whole lotta choices out there.

So where's all the Tennessee people?
Check in if you get the time!:D

I live in Knoxville. I hate how people around here look at you like you have two heads when you say your vegan.

Yes. There are a number of loose associations. One woman I know is thinking of starting a veg*n club here. Another woman had a veg*n restaurant in the late '90s, and is in the process of planning to open a new one. Vanderbilt U. has a completely vegetarian restaurant in the Hillel Center called Grins (pronounced Greens). There's also Woodland's Indian Cuisine, which is vegetarian.

I was involved in EarthSave Nashville from 1996 to about 2003. Unfortunately, this chapter folded.

There are also a number of people who are Buddhists and vegetarian due to that.

Tell me more about what interests you, and I'll try to point you in the right direction.

Johnson City! there are a few vegans and vegetarians here due to it being a college town (being a college kid myself i don't mean this in a negative way.)
