Lee Hall of Friends of Animals speaks on "Eco-Radical: What's the Relation Between Militancy and the Vegetarian Movement?" Hall explains that veganism is direct action (as stated on her T-shirt) and that veganism is a conscientious objection to our domination of other animals.

The North American Vegetarian Society's book store, at the Vegetarian Summerfest. On Sunday morning, I buy one of Victoria Moran's inspirational books to read on the train on the way home. When I run into Moran at the Amtrak station, I ask her to sign my book.

Looks like a great event – not sure why Heather Mills is making ‘Hotdogs’ and ‘Fish Sticks’ – I’ve never quite got the point of pseudo-meat products. Why not just call it a Veggie Slice or Tofu Stick or something?
