Please Show Your Support Today for all the Good Work The Vegetarian
Resource Group Does Year-Round
2015 has been a very productive year for The Vegetarian Resource Group.
Here’s a sampling of some of our accomplishments and outreach:
VRG’s Food Service Advisor Chef Nancy Berkoff, RD, EdD continues to
work on amazing projects including going on a cruise with a Navy
ship returning from Hawaii to Los Angeles and working with the food
service specialists on board to incorporate vegan options into the
available on-board foods and beverages. Nancy also did some kosher
vegan menu planning and prep demos at the Long Beach, CA senior
center and she is teaching several online college courses that
incorporate vegetarian nutrition and culinary arts. Nancy’s /Vegan
in Volume/ published by VRG has been distributed to thousands of
food service personnel in different settings.
We continue to work with numerous High School and College interns in
our Baltimore office as well as long distance (including overseas)
throughout the year. VRG Nutrition Advisor Reed Mangels, PhD, RD,
mentors those interns who are interested in pursuing a career in
nutrition. VRG staff also works with students that are majoring in
Journalism, Business, and other subjects. These students are the
future of the vegan movement and we should all be excited about what
they will bring to the cause once they graduate.
The Vegetarian Resource Group assists media (print, web, radio, tv,
etc.) including /US News and World Report/ for an article titled
“What are Mistakes that New Vegetarians Make?”, /Today’s Dietitian/
for an article on Vitamin B12, /CafeMom/ for a piece on vegan
pregnancy and feeding vegan infants, /Family/ magazine for an
article about children who choose veggie diets and what parents
should know, /The Bulletin/ in Bend, OR for an article about vegan
diets, /Food Technology Magazine/ asked VRG about the vegan market
for a piece, /CBS News/ interviewed /Vegetarian Journal / Senior
Editor Samantha Gendler about vegan market trends, etc.
VRG has done numerous outreach booths including at the Annual
Meeting of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in Atlanta, GA,
Valley VegFest in Northampton, MA, Natural Products Expo East in
Baltimore, MD, San Francisco, CA VegFest, Animal Rights Conference
2015 in the DC area, Charlottesville and Richmond, VA VegFests,
Vegan SoulFest in Baltimore, MD, etc.
We provide vegan handouts free-of-charge for outreach in a wide
variety of locations including doctor’s offices, libraries, a cruise
ship, college and high school campuses, dietitians and nurses
offices, a canine carnival, church health fairs, a Halloween party,
Meat-Out Day and Earth Day celebrations, animal rights conferences,
food pantries, World Food Day events, hospitals, etc.
