Going vegan is more than a diet change, it’s an opportunity to take on the challenge of a compassionate lifestyle based on environmental stewardship, service to others, and ahisma (non-violence). Living vegan is not about giving up food groups, it’s about gaining a more conscious life for yourself, community and the planet.
Vegan Challenge
Sacramento Vegan Challenge presents 1000 Vegan Cupcakes for Charity 2013. This year’s theme is “Farm to Cupcake.” 11 participating bakers/ bakeries will be creating 100 cupcakes each and including locally-grown ingredients for categories such as “Fresh & Fruity,” “Very Veggie,” and “Nuts ‘n Nuggets.” Cupcakes will be available for cash-&-carry purchase in 4-packs or sampler packs (variety selection=your choice!) We will be supporting Animal Place farmed animal sanctuary in Grass Valley, Grow it Kindly Veganic CSA program, and A Well-Fed World. Special musical performance by vegan singer-songwriter Kyle Vincent. Guest ‘celebrity’ judges including Gina Garcia of Yoga in the Park, Jennifer Fearing of The Humane Society of the United States/ CA, and Colleen Holland of Veg News magazine…plus local news reporters.

And I know you’re thinking: “But what about my protein??” – you can also see what the firefighters who wrote the “Engine 2 Diet” have to say about that!
