2) TEXAS STUDENT ANAYELI CAMACHO WINS $5,000.00 VEGETARIAN RESOURCE GROUP SCHOLARSHIP
Anayeli Camacho became vegetarian at 14 and then vegan. Wanting a job she could be proud of, she applied to Verdine, a vegan restaurant, for a busser/runner position. "Being 16 at the time, I would ask to do anything from cut the bread to making the ketchup, thinking I was too young to be prep. One of the leads asked if I wanted to become prep full-time, and I said yes. I was scared at first, this isn't my home kitchen, it's a real kitchen, with real customers, eating food that I made. I didn't want to disappoint anyone that took a chance on me."

5) WRITING FOR THE VEGETARIAN RESOURCE GROUP
By Reed Mangels, PhD, RD
(Though this article is geared towards VRG's interns and volunteers, we hope it also helps our readers understand our approach to articles.)
At VRG, we welcome interns and volunteers because of their enthusiasm, new ideas, and talents. We think of our work with interns and volunteers as an opportunity to convey our commitment to accurate and understandable information. The materials that you develop while interning or volunteering with us may appear on our website, in a blog post, in Vegetarian Journal, or as a brochure or hand-out. In any case, we want to feel confident that your work represents our standards and is something that we can enthusiastically promote.
Sometimes students or other volunteers are surprised... continued here:

6) VEGETARIAN VIDEO SCHOLARSHIP
The Vegetarian Resource Group is once again this year holding a video contest. This is your chance to create and submit a video telling others about veganism. We will be awarding one $200.00 scholarship and two $100.00 awards. Some possible topics include food, nutrition, your feelings about veganism, water usage and veganism, veganism and animal rights, or other vegan topics that appeal to you.
Videos will be judged on, among other things, accuracy of the information provided and the judges' desire to share the video with others. Humor and feelings are appreciated. All videos should be positive, not be critical of anyone, and not include any footage of animal cruelty. You may submit a video you have already made. Submission Deadline: July 15, 2020

The PAN Vegan Pledge program guides people through 30 days of being vegan with the program's hands-on support. This support includes five weekly Zoom meetings consisting of cooking demonstrations, speakers addressing environmental, ethical, health, and practical issues, a personal mentor (experienced vegan), panels, and more, to make 30 days of being vegan that much easier. The program is entirely FREE and accessible to anyone with a computer or phone and access to the internet.

If you're already vegan you can also sign up to mentor for someone who is taking the pledge. [ https://www.peaceadvocacynetwork.org/veganpledge/remote/ ]

8) THE VEGETARIAN RESOURCE GROUP ON 2020 DIETARY GUIDELINES
The Vegetarian Resource Group sent in these comments to the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory committee, c/o USDA Food and Nutrition Service, Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion.
Thank you for the opportunity to submit comments for the 2020 edition of Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020 endorsed "a healthy vegetarian eating pattern" as one of three "healthy eating patterns that can be adapted based on cultural and personal preferences." This healthy vegetarian eating pattern could encompass lacto-ovo/lacto vegetarian and vegan patterns. The inclusion of both vegetarian and vegan food patterns provided needed guidance for Americans who choose to eat vegetarian or vegan meals, whether this is done occasionally or every day. The text of the Guidelines made a clear and compelling case for a rapid shift in the American diet to one that is more plant-based. The evidence-based approach used throughout the report allowed readers to understand the basis for the recommendations that are made. We hope that the next edition of Dietary Guidelines for Americans will provide similar or stronger support for vegetarian/vegan diets.

9) THE VEGAN'S CHOICE: JAY'S GOURMET VEGAN DISHES & DESSERTS IN WINDSOR MILL, MARYLAND
Review by Rissa Miller, Senior Editor Vegetarian Journal
Tucked away in southern Baltimore County a small vegan catering kitchen is creating gorgeous sweet and savory food for pick-up and delivery. Owned by a sole proprietor named Jay, he said he had tired of always hoping for healthful vegan options at his favorite eateries. So, he took matters into his own hands and opened up The Vegan's Choice: Jay's Gourmet Vegan Dishes & Desserts to bring his own delicious creations to others seeking vegan food. Additionally, Jay tried to emphasize lower calorie counts, all portions are under 300 calories, to keep his food health-supporting. Everything on the menu is both vegan and soy-free. Inquiries about allergens are answered thoroughly and promptly.
I've ordered twice so far and each time, the eating was fantastic! Jay's portions are generous for the price and my experience with the customer service via Facebook and text was excellent, both times fast and thorough with questions. Delivery arrived about five minutes early, and my food was the proper temperature to eat right away. (Though some had to be stored for later!)
Start with breakfast. Try the Sausage Biscuit, I loved it. The biscuit itself is fluffy and light-as-air. It melts in your mouth. The sausage patty is savory and satisfying. There are more options as well, including Fruit Smoothies, Vegan Pancakes, French Toast, and a Bravas Potato Bowl. Jay makes Cinnamon Rolls with vanilla frosting and Donuts for those who prefer a sweeter breakfast, as well as a la carte Vegan Buttermilk Biscuits. Because you can order in advance, you can have breakfast anytime: morning, brunch, lunch, dinner.
Lunch offerings include Vegan Tuna Sandwiches, Vegan BLTs, Veggie Subs, and Vegan Cheesesteaks, as well as Vegan Chili-cheese Dogs and Jay's Seasoned Fries. While I didn't try any sandwiches, I did get an order of Jay's Vegan Deviled Eggs. This was not only a surprising offering, but really tasty! It's been many years since I ate animal-based deviled eggs; this was just what I remembered as far as texture and flavor. The outside was smooth and egg-like; the filling was creamy and savory. Jay re-created this favorite party fare perfectly.
Jay's Pizzas come on a buttery crust, loaded with your choice of toppings (onion, green peppers, vegan bac'n, mushrooms, pineapple, banana peppers, black olives, etc.) or select one of the specialty pies: Supreme, Mac and Cheese with Bac'n, or Vegan Cheesesteak. My first pizza was a build-your-own and the second time, I got a Vegan Cheesesteak, which I shared at a socially distant meet up with a non-vegan friend - who also loved it!
Heavier dinner offerings include Vegan Crab Balls and Crab Cakes, Cajun Chik'n, Egg-less Rolls, and Vegetable Stir Fry. Jay also recently added a new pasta salad, a blend of broccoli, carrots, noodles, tomatoes, onions, and chickpeas bathed in Jay's original salad dressing!
So, of the sides, this may be surprising, but my favorite is Jay's Mean Greens. These collards come seasoned to perfection with savory spices and garlic. Honestly, I'd eat them everyday and in the future, might get two orders so they last a full week. Jay's sides include a decadent and cheddars Mac and Cheese which is tasty all by itself - but for a special treat, get the Onion Rings stuffed with Mac and Cheese. This is a truly original and incredible side dish, and honestly, it's almost like a meal itself! Complete your meal with Southern Sweet Potatoes and an order of Jay's Dinner Rolls.
The only dessert I tried thus far was the lemon cupcake. It was tender and sweet with just the right amount of tangy lemon frosting providing contrast. Other sweet offerings include: chocolate cupcakes, vanilla cupcakes, full size cakes including carrot cake, peach cobbler, and 7 kinds of cookies.
If you live in the Baltimore region or are visiting, visit Jay's website to order, [ https://theveganschoice.org/ ]

10) PLANT-POWERED MEAT MONTH, JULY 2020
Calling all restaurants, professional chefs, and food enthusiasts. In July BotaniCuisine is sponsoring "Plant-Powered Meat Month" in Baltimore, Annapolis, and Harford County.

Vegans, vegetarians, and people that just like good food can enjoy plant-based versions of their current favorites as well as explore the very best custom-crafted foods our local eateries have to offer. The uninitiated will discover what vegans and vegetarians already know: that plant-based/vegan foods are much more than just imitations of animal meats - they are equally-satisfying healthy wonders! For Restauranteurs and Professional Chefs, you will be able to reach a larger audience by participating in the event.
