Our primary goal is to educate ourselves, each other and others about eating options.
In a world where the Federal Government is lobbied heavily by the Beef, Dairy, Fish, Pork, etc. industries, our ideas about eating options have been blatantly manipulated.
They try to convince us that meat and dairy are necessary for a healthy diet by showing us charts like the Food Pyramid. They lie.
We hope to get the truth out to people. We plan to run informational tables periodically outside of Valentine dining hall, or in the Campus Center building, where we can give out pamphlets, answer questions, display books, share information and raise awareness about Vegetarianism. We plan to put up posters with information such as the Vegetarian Food Pyramid.
We also hope to bring speakers to Amherst College to discuss Vegetarian issues with us.
Our goal isn't to guilt trip others, or tell them what to eat. Our goal is to give people the information they need to make their own informed decision about what they choose to eat.
