Vegan Potluck and Movie Screening (8/3)


WHAT HAPPENED?
It was incredible. The food was delicious. The attendees were kind. And the documentary was mind blowing. Highly recommended. The movie reveals the massive hidden industry of killing cows for flesh in Hindu India -- through corruption, bribes, deception, the slaughter of water buffaloes and, worst of all, the consumption of dairy. It is raising cows for milk and cheese that ends up leading to their slaughter for various reasons: when they get older and dry, when they are sick, when they are male and useless to milk producers, when they get injured, when it costs too much to feed them, when they are kidnapped from shelters to be slaughtered on the illegal market. Milk and meat are unhealthy, but people believe them to be "pure" or religious, and so it is consumed on a massive scale. But people are kept in the dark about what is going on. They see no reason to change their diets because they have been sold a set of lies that holds the system together.

Come enjoy a pleasant summer's evening of vegan treats, good company, and a screening of the new award-winning vegan documentary:

Mother's Milk: Uncovering the Global Diary Disaster.
