According to their website, Whole World is now open again! Here are their posted hours:

Rad Dog is no longer at its previous location inside Hal&Al's bar on Parson's Ave. According to their website, they're looking for their own location closer to Clintonville.

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!

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.

RSVP to the Wellness Forum to attend the Meat-out. Located at the Wellness Forum at 510 E. Wilson Bridge Rd. Worthington.

See attached flyer for details.

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.

Just a moment of pause in our interviews with vegan humans to bring you an interview with a pair of vegan cats, who live with two humans named Beth and Steve:

(Yes, Sam Adams Octoberfest is vegan)

This one?

Yep, Vegan Columbus just started a Facebook group. Feel free to join and post what's on your mind pertaining to veganness in Central Ohio.

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.
