New local vegan establishments!

I found a spate of flyers for new vegan establishments posted at Patty Cake last week, and have just now posted them to the directory. Here they are:

  • Brain Food offers raw/vegan cooking classes, nutrition advice, personal chefs, and catering.
  • Virtue vegan salon offers mens and womens coiffures with all vegan products and donates the excess hair to make hair mats used in cleaning oil spills.
  • Eden's Rain is a nutrition and wellness consultancy.

Check them out, and don't forget to leave ratings and reviews once you've done so!

The Columbus Vegetarian Meetup Group is Vegan-Friendly

In addition to The Columbus Vegan Meetup, The Columbus Vegetarian Meetup is vegan-friendly as well. The organizer emailed us to note that about one-third of the group is vegan, so he always makes sure the monthly events are vegan friendly. He always has them listed about a month in advance, and we'll be cross-posting them here too for your convenience.

How long have you been vegan?
I've been vegan for 9 years. I had been vegetarian for five years before that. I went vegan for the same reasons I originally became a vegetarian: ethical concerns regarding cruelty and the killing of animals, as well as environmental/ ecological considerations. A vegan diet is more sustainable than a vegetarian diet, which in turn is more sustainable than an omnivorous diet.

Comment system update

Dear Wonderful Vegans,

If you've ever tried to leave a comment, you may have waited a long-ass time to see it appear. Like months. The site didn't alert moderators of new comments by e-mail, and comments didn't show up until they were moderated.

This will never happen again. Comments are now automatically published after a captcha is solved, and moderation is post-facto. Mods also receive emails upon new comment creation so we can remove ads for Viagra or whatever.
