Folks, I don't normally do this - but since I won't have time to
update the newsletter before this weekend, I felt compelled to get
this out.

This weekend is veggie mania in Toronto - wanted to make sure if
you're in or around Toronto, you don't miss out on these awesome
veggie events:

A must see: You'll love this fabulous documentary premiering at the
Toronto Independent Film Festival (not to be confused with the Toronto
International Film Festival - TIFF - running concurrently).

Titled "Vegucated" (http://www.getvegucated.com/
), the film follows three meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers who
agree to adopt a vegan diet for six weeks. There’s Brian, the
bacon-loving bachelor who eats out all the time, Ellen, the single mom
who prefers comedy to cooking, and Tesla, the college student who
avoids vegetables and bans beans. They have no idea that so much more
than steak is at stake and that the fate of the world may fall on
their plates. Lured with true tales of weight lost and health
regained, they begin to uncover hidden sides of animal agriculture and
soon start to wonder whether solutions offered in films like Food,
Inc. go far enough. Before long, they find themselves risking
everything to expose an industry they supported just weeks before.

Advanced reviews bill this as "hilarious", "informative",
"educational"...here's a sample:

"I love this film. Not only does it cover the hows and whys of
healthy, humane eating, but it captures the OMGs and WTFs of the
transformation process. A must-see!" - Rory Freedman, author of Skinny
Bitch

If you're in the Toronto area, make a point of seeing it - one night
only - this Saturday, Sept. 10 at 9:30 pm, Underground Cinema
(Queen/Spadina)
