Oakland Veg Week Celebration with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau

You did it! Join fellow Oakland Veg Week pledgees to celebrate your week of healthy and humane eating at our Veg Week celebration! We will enjoy delicious plant-strong foods. There will be samples from vegetarian businesses and a talk by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau entitled, “For the Love of Vegetables.”

Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, The Compassionate Cook, is an author and educator dedicated to empowering people to make informed food choices, to debunking myths about veganism and animal rights and to giving people the tools and resources they need to reflect their values of compassion and wellness in their daily lives.

Join Colleen for this inspiring, informative, and funny lecture that provides responses and solutions to all the excuses we make, including “I don’t have time to chop vegetables,” “I tried being vegetarian, but I craved meat, and “I could never live without cheese.”
