Food. Information. we will be doing food tastings throughout the week,
mainly
instore via free sample trays but with an outdoor event on the Saturday
outside the shop. We'll combine it with a set of interesting facts each
day focusing on the positive benefits of eating a meat free diet (we're
thinking about theming the facts for each day eg. health, environment,
animal welfare). We're also considering some kind of treasure hunt or
competition that runs throughout the whole week. One idea is to ask customers/the
general public to vote for their favourite veggie meal
and eating venue. We'll be approaching the local paper and Radio Sheffield
for publicity.

21st from 12 noon until 4pm We shall be having a Veggie Food sampling
Day at in Saddington,Leicester. This is to encourage you to bring friends
who may be thinking about
giving up meat.... it may be that they now know what goes on to kill
an animal just for their food or they may want to change their diet
for health reasons or because meat prices are going up! Whatever the
reason it will mean less animals being killed if they have a few veggie
meals a week. Many meat eaters have no idea what vegetarian/vegan foods
are available so this is where this sampling day comes in. We shall
have many,many varieties of food for tasting from savoury to sweet
also lots of vegan food for those vegetarians trying to make the change
to give
up dairy too. Entrance will be by ticket only purchased or reserved
before the day. Cost is £5 which also includes a beautiful garden
to walk around (1/2 acre) with views of Saddington reservoir. Lets
hope
for a sunny day, (please bring your brolly!) There will also be Plants
for sale, Raffle, Information on products and recipes.Tickets
are available by emailing sue@1sd.co.uk please put 'Tickets' on the
subject line. Any one able to help me on the day would be very much
appreciated also if anyone wants to contribute some veggie food please
