To: vsg@MIT.EDU, vsg-action@MIT.EDU, vsg-local@MIT.EDU Cc: foodfair-request@MIT.EDU, save@MIT.EDU, seta@MIT.EDU Date: Mon, 19 Feb 1996 03:34:58 EST From: "Laura C. Dilley" <elsiedee@MIT.EDU> Hi! Planning for the 2nd annual MIT Great American Meatout festivities are underway. The Meatout will take place on WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20. Here are our current plans: -contact MIT Medical about sponsoring us/helping to promote the Meatout; -working with MIT Food Services to have a campus-wide vegetarian day (details TBA) -sponsorship by Laverde's, Harvest Co-op, Bread and Circus, and possibly others; -Thistle issue to come out on the same day as the Meatout which will cover all of the relevant issues: politics of nutrition, factory farming, meat and the environment, McLibel trial, overview of scientific studies on nutrition, vegan movement, resources for vegetarians, and book reviews. -FREE vegetarian Indian dinner courtesy of the Iskcon Temple of Greater Boston; -showing of the video "Diet for a New America" and potluck ...and there is more to come!! If you would like to help out with the event in any way, send email. This is truly an event the MIT community can rally around. Finally, here is a chance to get out the word that a vegetarian diet is health-promoting and life giving, as well as environmentally conscious and economically sound. We received tremendous support last year from MIT Medical and MIT Food Services and expect that they will be as enthusiastic this year. What we need is YOUR participation. Please send email if you would be willing to help. Tasks asked of volunteers will be small and manageable, with the realization that *we are all very busy.* All volunteers will be greatly appreciated and rewarded with free food!!! Here are some wild & crazy ideas that we had, in no particular order: -close down Burger King for a day -having a registered dietician present at our booth on the day of the event -lots of free food samples, including donated food from various veg-oriented food companies (???) -mass mailing to all professors and administrators about the event -an article in _The Tech_ about the event -advertisement of the Meatout on WMBR radio station -an article about us in the Boston Globe ??? -LSC slide advertising the Meatout -chance at a dinner for two to Country Life to anyone who obtains pledges of friends or co-workers If you would like to see all or any of the above happen, GET INVOLVED NOW!!! Your psyched veg-pres, Laura
