6) VRG HIGHLIGHTS

Reed Mangels, PhD RD, delivered the 3rd annual Denis Burkitt Memorial Lecture, entitled "Can Plant-based Diets Reduce the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease, Osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias in Women?" at the Plant-Based Prevention of Disease conference.

VRG Intern Taylor Gale assisted two local Baltimore restaurants as well as the Loyola student dinning hall with adding more vegan options.

A doula and Breastfeeding Counselor from Dallas Texas requested materials from us on pregnancy and breastfeeding. She will be hosting an event to promote breastfeeding amongst African-American women in August.

We hosted nine dietetic interns for an in-service at our Baltimore office, none of whom were vegetarians. They had a lot of questions, and we did our best to get them to think more about how to help their future vegetarian clients. Special thanks to Rissa Miller, Marcy Schveibinz, and Whitney Blomquist for sharing their experiences and expertise.

We’d like to take this time to say goodbye to our spring interns. Your help on the blog, doing restaurant research, food reviews, nutritional research, and leading cooking classes was invaluable to us, and we hope the experiences you had and the connections you made continue to benefit you as well in your future activism!

We’ve also selected this year’s scholarship winners! Go to our scholarship page to see more: [ https://www.vrg.org/student/scholar.htm ]

7) TWENTY PERCENT OF U.S. ADULTS ALWAYS OR SOMETIMES EAT VEGAN MEALS WHEN EATING OUT

With Target selling almond and soy milk, Chipotle carrying Sofritas as well as listing it as vegan bowl on their website, Carl’s Junior offering the Beyond Burger, and Burger King adding a vegan burger, it seems there is an explosion of interest in vegan foods. However, The Vegetarian Resource Group wanted to know how many vegans there are.

In a national Harris survey, we asked the following question in 2016 and 2019… To see question and rest of article, go to [ https://www.vrg.org/nutshell/Polls/2019_adults_veg.htm ]

For more polls, see [ https://www.vrg.org/nutshell/faq.htm#poll ]

8) YEA CAMP

Yea camp is a social justice leadership camp that trains aspiring activists to make a bigger difference in causes that they care about. The adult camp [ https://yeacamp.org/adults/ ] is in New York and youth sessions are in Massachusetts and California [ https://yeacamp.org/ ]

All food served at all 3 camps is entirely vegan (though you don’t have to be vegan to attend camp). Registration is still open for all 3 sessions.

We are hiring health supervisors, vegan chefs, and counselors. [ https://yeacamp.org/work-with-us/ ]

9) WISH LIST

As a non-profit, we can only take on new projects when we are able to get support from donors and our dedicated volunteers. Right now, we are seeking your support for the following:

• We gave away stacks of books and other materials to each of nine dietetic interns, so they can better assist their future vegetarian clients. Could you contribute $49 to offset the cost of a batch of books and materials for one future dietitian? You can contribute at [ https://www.vrg.org/donate ] . Put "Dietetic Intern" in the comments.
 
• Monthly and quarterly donors support our work, while allowing us to better budget by providing more predictable and steady funding. You can become a monthly or quarterly donor online here: [ https://www.vrg.org/donate ]

12) UTAH STUDENT WINS VEGETARIAN RESOURCE GROUP $5,000 COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP

Leigh Harris said, "Growing up, I always had a passion for animals. In fact, at the age of four, I declared that I wanted to be a cheetah when I grew up. When I realized that this was not a viable option, I decided that I wanted to somehow be able to involve my passion for animals into my life ... At the age of thirteen, I was finally able to transition to vegetarianism."

"I became involved in volunteering at the Volunteers of America Youth Resource Center. Jeremy Beckham, who just happens to be the first recipient of The Vegetarian Resource Group Scholarship, and his partner, began the monthly dinners for homeless youth in 2015. My family and I were a part of the first volunteer group to sign up. When Amy and Jeremy have been unavailable to lead the volunteer group, we are one of the first families they call to fill in for them. We plan the meals, shop for the groceries, and organize the volunteers. It has become an event that we look forward to every month."

"Some examples of the dishes we have made are curries, sloppy Joes, lasagna, chili and cornbread. Some of the most popular dishes have been jumbo pasta shells stuffed with spinach and a homemade cashew ricotta cheese, a cheesy broccoli soup, and a chana masala with roti. We prepare enough food to feed fifty youth. The majority of them come back for seconds. There is a girl who resides at the shelter who is vegan and is always so happy to see my group when we’re making dinner. "We have a $100 dollar budget for every dinner ... which shows that you can eat a healthful diet with variety on a budget."

One reference said, "As a proud and grateful recipient of the 2003 Vegetarian Resource Group Scholarship and an active member in the animal protection movement, it is my distinct pleasure to recommend Leigh Harris … Utah Animal Rights Coalition is the organizer of the annual SLC Veg Fest, the largest vegan festival in Utah, with approximately 5,000 attendees each year. Last year, Leigh was one of three young people on a panel discussing issues affecting vegan youth. Leigh shared her experiences as a vegan in middle school and high school, and provided meaningful advice for those in attendance about how to navigate tricky family and social situations as a young vegan. I was thoroughly impressed with Leigh’s natural confidence as a public speaker, her storytelling ability, and her mastery of the facts related to veganism and nutrition … Speaking from personal experience, a scholarship from VRG not only provides tangible resources for the recipient, it also carries with it a humbling endorsement of one’s character, past accomplishments, and future potential ... I truly believe that (Leigh) will be a steadfast and effective advocate for animal rights."

The deadline for the next Vegetarian Resource Group scholarship is February 20, 2020. Applicants should be graduating high school in spring of 2020. For details about past winners and applications, see: [ https://www.vrg.org/student/scholar.htm ]
