6) INTERN EXPERIENCE AT THE VEGETARIAN RESOURCE GROUP

Interning with VRG

By Shun Shueh

It has been a pleasure interning with The Vegetarian Resource Group for about 3 months. I've been vegan for a little more than a year, and my experience with The Vegetarian Resource Group has been very rewarding.

I initially joined VRG in an attempt to find a deeper connection to veganism. Though I was already comfortable with eating a vegan diet, I wanted to learn more about vegan activism and how I could make an even bigger contribution to the vegan cause. Interning with VRG has definitely helped me get closer to this goal. I've learned so much about different types of activism and running a non-profit organization. My favorite part of this experience has been meeting those who are connected to The Vegetarian Resource Group. Here, I quickly learned that having connections is a crucial part of running a successful cause, so interning at VRG has allowed me to get more comfortable with networking.

I also enjoyed assisting with different outreach events, including a vegan Jewish cooking demonstration and a dietetics booth. This opportunity gave me a new perspective on how events are run and planned.

Lastly, working in the VRG office also meant that I could try lots of fun vegan snacks! My personal favorites were vegan ice cream mochi and vegan ravioli from Amy's Kitchen. Overall, I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to intern at VRG and have gained a lot from this experience.

Shun Shueh was a VRG high school intern in 2019.

7) GUIDE TO NUT AND SEED MILKS 2019

Choose almost any nut and you'll find a plant milk made with it - from almonds to pecans. And then there are milks based on seeds like sesame, flax, and hemp. There are so many, many kinds of nut and seed milks. Thanks to VRG intern Laneece Hurd who collected and organized information so that it's not overwhelming.

To see detailed information about everything from the number of calories to how much vitamin B12 is added, to which sweeteners are used in many brands of nut and seed milks available in the U.S., go to this helpful table [ https://www.vrg.org/nutrition/milk_alternatives/nut_and_seed_milk_table.pdf ]

Generally speaking, nut and seed milks have 25-200 calories in an 8-ounce serving. Sweetened milks tend to have more calories than unsweetened milks. Nut and seed milks are frequently lower in protein than soy or pea protein-based milk unless additional protein is added. Most brands have 1 gram of protein in a serving.

Many of the milks we looked at have vitamin D, calcium, and vitamin B12 added although some products are not enriched and not all contain all three of these nutrients. If you're relying on plant milks as sources of calcium, vitamin B12, or vitamin D, be sure to check the product label.

You may also be interested in information on soy milk, coconut milk, and grain and pea milks.

8) ILLINOIS STUDENT WINS $5,000 VEGETARIAN RESOURCE GROUP COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP

Bianca Schramm said, "In fifth grade, a fellow student criticized my lunch, complaining that my avocado tofu sandwich looked weird and asked why I didn't have the ever-popular ham and cheese sandwich. She told me 'God created animals to be eaten.'... Do you have a dog? I asked her? 'Well, you would never eat a dog, right'.."

Bianca reported, "I have been involved with volunteering projects with the Science of Spirituality Meditation Center since the beginning of Middle School. As a member of their youth services program, I helped cook vegetarian meals and organized field trips every month - During the summers of 2015 and 2016 I gave discourses at Veggie Fest (Naperville, Illinois) in the Learn To Be Vegetarian booth." As a passionate teenage vegetarian, I still wanted to do more. - One of my biggest hobbies is photography, and I also volunteer at the Science of Spirituality every Saturday for two hours at their vegetarian cooking classes to take pictures of their vegetarian meals for social media."

Bianca also said, "I work in the Manna Organics booth June through August every Saturday at the Naperville Farmer's Market (2015-2018). I help sell vegan nut butters and sprouted organic breads. While working there, I had the pleasure of engaging in many insightful conversations with customers about their dietary choices, and I would regularly explain my belief and support of the vegan lifestyle."

Bianca continued, "As a life-long vegetarian, I have combined my passion for the vegan diet with my passion for creative writing - Many of these short stories from my childhood related to my experiences of being a 5th generation vegetarian." Bianca also wrote, "I am happy to report that I am indeed still vegan! The treatment of animals in America is very disheartening, and the more I learn about this inhumane and unsustainable treatment, the more passionate and motivated I become to encourage others to try veganism."

Bianca will be attending Davidson College as a communication studies major.

9) OUTREACH BOOTH AT LOYOLA UNIVERSITY

By Emma Giebel, VRG Intern

On a chilly Friday morning, my co-intern Taylor and I set up a table at the entrance to the most popular dining hall at Loyola University Maryland, Boulder Garden Café. Our table was covered in books and pamphlets filled with information about the benefits of veganism, facts that we wish were common knowledge. The dining service at our school played a huge part in our day by providing us with samples of a vegan burger that they are considering introducing into the daily menu of Boulder Garden Café. As we sat there for nearly 3 hours, we witnessed a spectrum of reactions to our presence. Whenever we would ask a group of students if they would like to try a vegan burger, we were given a reaction of shock and doubt. The common facial expression was one of "There is no way that could be good."

The first positive reactions were given by vegans and vegetarians, who were thrilled at seeing not only the free food, but also the information we were giving out. Many said that the burger was better than any veggie burger they had ever had, and that introducing it into the daily menu would be a game-changer. Many people were curious and decided to try it out, and they were delightfully surprised at how delicious they were. With no gluten, no soy and 20 grams of protein, they appealed to different audiences. As someone who has only been a vegetarian for less than a year, a good veggie burger that was high in protein was something that I have been seeking. The best reactions were from the men at Loyola who I normally see lifting the heaviest weights at our gym. Many people who are involved in fitness, especially weightlifting, falsely claim that you cannot get any protein from a vegan diet. It was genuinely funny to see these men come back for seconds! Their initial doubt was immediately retracted after the first bite.

The experience was incredibly informative for both myself and those that visited the booth. It was important for me to see what non-vegans/vegetarians thought of a meat substitute like the vegan burger, because small changes like that can have a massive change down the line. The best thing for the planet would be for everyone to not eat meat, but that may not happen for a while. When meat-eaters make the small changes to decrease their intake, options like what we provided are an amazing start. After they realized they liked the burger, many students asked us about more information, which is where the literature we brought with us came in handy. I hope that everyone who visited our table learned something, even if that was only that there are vegan options for classic American foods. If one person makes the decision to eat less meat, then I know that it was worth our while.
