My sister wrote a book called That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals and she constantly encounters people who say really inane things like, “I don’t think I’ve ever actually eaten any vegan food.” She usually responds with “Well, have you ever had an apple?” and then they feel pretty stupid. Don’t be one of those idiots.

I stumbled upon this nomadic vegan brunch called Access Café. They seem to take place only rarely, so take advantage of this one! If I paraphrase, it’s gonna sound like a bunch of kumbaya hooey, so I’ll just quote their Facebook invitation:
“Join us for delicious food, live music and lovely company. Pay what you think the experience is worth- or contribute your time and energy to make this cafe a truly community supported project. Help with dishes, chop some vegetables, pour mimosas. We believe that the more we all contribute, the more everyone benefits. With much hope about creating a future that provides access to food and water for all, and the biggest community network we can imagine, Love, All Access Café.”
Oh look at that! They managed to sound kumbaya-y all on their own. Just kidding. In all seriousness, making affordable and nutritious plant-based food accessible to all is important, plus any donation-based brunch is, simply, pretty rad. See a video of one of their past cafés here.
