Veganism’s Sweet Side: Texans Enjoy Cruelty-Free Cookies

Nathan Runkle January 25, 2011

Texans recently got a taste of animal-friendly fare when MFA volunteers distributed free vegan cookies outside a McDonald’s restaurant in downtown Dallas. People of all ages enjoyed sampling the delicious dairy-free and egg-free desserts, and many gladly accepted copies of MFA’s colorful Vegetarian Starter Kit stuffed with our Dallas/Fort Worth vegetarian dining guide.

TexasCookie_3.jpgTexasCookie_2.jpgFeed-ins are friendly events that break down barriers to vegetarian eating by showing others just how easily they can choose cruelty-free versions of their favorite foods. In Dallas, we could barely keep our tray stocked as two hundred passersby eagerly tried our chocolate chip, peanut butter, and lemon cookies made by the Sun Flour Baking Company. Dozens of Dallasites also chatted with our volunteers about the great-tasting treats and the benefits of plant-based eating.

Ready to get involved? Consider applying for a VegFund grant to conduct an exciting feed-in event on a busy street corner, college campus, or other location in your own community!
