November 01, 2004Veg Nutrition 101
Sick of people asking you about getting enough vitamin B12 or amino acids on a vegan diet? Then take a tip from PSTAR (Penn Students for Animal Rights) and educate your classmates with a quick and easy Veg Nutrition 101 class!
Today members of PSTAR hosted a Veg Nutrition 101 class the University of Pennsylvania. Their 40 minute to 1 hour Powerpoint presentation focuses on all the major macronutrients (carbs, fats, proteins) and the many of the micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) that compromise a healthy vegetarian diet. The presentation also debunks common myths about vegetarian diets, evaulates some of the new fad diets, offers insights to general health issues, and informs students about the vegetarian and vegan options available in the University of Pennsylvania's dining halls.
During the lecture, a PSTAR chef prepared healthy, easy-to-make, and relatively inexpensive vegetarian recipes that any college student can whip up. Samples were distributed throughout the presentation.
After the presentation concluded, students asked questions while they enjoy a FREE VEGAN MEAL (provided by the college house and catered by a local vegan restaurant who agreed to donate the food), and tons of literature. Recipes were also available for the students to take.
