Rory Freedman Advice For Surviving Holiday Carnivorous Cookouts
Written by Vegetarian Star on June 30th, 2009 in Authors.
The 4th of July holiday is approaching for all our friends in the US, and in many cases, vegetarians and vegans find themselves stuck in a family or friend get together that tries to celebrate by grilling every species, native or not, in the country.
There’s hope for surviving this 4th without going hungry and author of the popular Skinny Bitch series Rory Freedman wrote an article in VegNews magazine for the July/August edition that gave some tips for making it through AND helping to spread some of that cruelty-free awareness while you’re at it.
People are like bags of microwave popcorn, Freedman explains. Some pop right away, some take longer, and some little bastard kernels will make you burn the whole bag and still never pop! Regardless of when and if the kernels decide to pop, all require heat.
Here’s her advice for turning up the heat this holiday weekend:
“Bringing a “Why Vegan?” pamphlet and some veggie “pigs in a blankets” might mean that, even if it’s just for one day at one barbecue, one person will forego eating meat. And hosting your own vegan shindig and inviting all your meathead friends might one day mean the different between a bowlful of kernels and a bowlful of popcorn.”
