Article: More Young People Go the Vegetarian Route 
By Mary Brophy Marcus as printed in USA Today on October 15, 2007 Many nutrition experts say they’ve seen changes in the food landscape over the past five to 10 years that suggest a growing popularity of vegetarianism among young people. Young people cite a host of reasons for going meat-free, such as personal taste, concerns about animal treatment, environmental questions surrounding livestock and the influence of peers and celebrities. Action Alert: California Farmed Animals Need Your Help! 
An important and precedent-setting ballot initiative campaign is underway in California to ban the cruelest confinement systems in the veal, egg, and pork industries. California animal advocates are working hard to gather the required 650,000 signatures to get this measure on the November 2008 ballot. Since there are only five short months in which to gather these signatures, your help is urgently needed today! If you live in California, please volunteer to help collect signatures for this important campaign. Visit HumaneCalifornia.org to learn more! If you’re not a California resident, but know others who are, please pass on this alert and refer them to the web site. Recipe: Apple Crisp from the COK Kitchen 
Who can resist apples and oatmeal smothered in maple syrup and brown sugar? One bite of this classic fall dessert, and you’ll want to make it over and over again. |
