VSU 2nd Quarter News Letter 2013

When I turned “vegan” 6 years ago, it was not the “buzz word” that it is today. Now the word Vegan is springing up everywhere from prime time television programs, to the internet, grocery stores, restaurants and many more local activities which are involving some aspect  of eating more whole food plant based!  It’s very exciting!

Spring brings “tabling” weather and VSU is right there with our table of information,with a preponderance of medical and scientific evidence  to support the whole food plant-based diet and lifestyle.  Whether you choose going “cold non-turkey vegan” like I did, or start introducing more  vegetables, whole grains, starches and fruits, into your diet or just start out  with “meatless” Mondays – Nutritious Way and VSU has the support and information to guide you along your journey to taking control of your health.  Be sure to visit our table at the Downtown St George Farmer’s Market in Ancestor Square starting Saturday, May 11, 8 am to noon.. It’s also a great way to support our local farmers, purchase fresh produce, enjoy live music, meet friends, and support our local crafts people.

For even more support  which is mailed directly to your home  be sure you are receiving the popular magazine VegNews.  If you are not and would like to, VSU is offering an annual subscription for only $7.50 – you must be a VSU member to receive this discounted price.  For more information  email: info@vsutah.org.
