OR Goodies Each participant will receive a Vegetarianism in a Nutshell audio CD. The Fine Print This class is informational only and is not a step-by-step seminar in how to be veg. We will focus on the benefits and reasons to go veg rather than what to eat or how to prepare veg foods. If you are seeking this kind of in-depth guidance, then let us suggest our four-part Becoming Vegan class offered in September. The Dirt on Industrial Agriculture We are offering one session of this workshop. Most people have no idea how their food is produced. If they did, they would make different food choices. This workshop will provide participants with an eye-opening, in-depth look at industrial crop farming and animal production.
