Welcome New Writer: Jason Mick

October 24th, 2008

I am happy to announce that we have a new writer on Groovy Vegetarian. His name is Jason Mick and he has been a vegetarian since the age of 5. I’m super duper excited to have him.

What Does Jason Do?

Jason is currently an editor for a hot technology blog (Daily Tech) and will contribute veggie articles here about once or twice a week.

Where Is Jason From?

He happens to reside in the most spectacularly fantabulous place on Earth, the windy City  Chicago.

Check out his mini- bio below:

Jason Mick is a news editor and columnist for the leading science and technology online publication, DailyTech. He was raised vegetarian and convinced his parents to go vegetarian at age 5, thanks to his strong love for fish. He has worked in the electronics field for such companies as Siemens VDO, Lear Corporation, and Ovonics Battery Company. He graduated with a BA in computer engineering from Oakland University and is currently in a Masters/PhD program in Chemical Engineering and Physiology at Wayne State University.

In his free time he enjoys music, backpacking the scenic Michigan outdoors, writing fiction, reading about alternative energy, and spending time with his beautiful girlfriend Megan.

Welcome Jason! Happy to have you on board the Groovy Veg train.

Grab Your Free Vegetarian Starter Kit Today!

July 30th, 2008

Are you considering going vegetarian? Or maybe going part-time with the diet, such as adopting Meatless Mondays?

vegetarian starter kit

Not sure how to get started, or what recipes to use. One great guide for new vegetarians is the vegetarian starter kit. I requested one back in February 2007, when i was wanting more information on the plant-based diet. It comes in the mail in a few weeks, and is loaded with tips on how to start.

The free kit includes healthy recipes and low fat recipes all made using no meat. Vegetarians are some of the most savvy food people in the world, as they need to truly study ingredients and be crafty with their vegetarian meals. You too will soon become a savvy food planner and eater.

The kit contains nutrition information, resource links, a few pages dedicated to animal cruelty issues, and loads more. It isn’t meant to convert anyone, is sent by request only, and is completely free.

To request your free vegetarian starter kit from Go Veg, fill out their simple form.

***I have to give a shout out to Patricia from Project Organic Eating, for reminding me of this great vegetarian freebie!

Cows with Attitude. These 100% cotton canvas tote bags have a bold and edgy proclamation for you. Don’t like mad cow? Then leave the freaking cows alone.

Go vegetarian and leave the cows be. The 100% cotton canvas Mad Cow Tote Bag makes a great grocery shopping bag. With billions of plastic bags going to the local landfill every year, forget plastic – use canvas instead.

Cafepress bags are strong and sturdy and sized 15×18x6 to hold plenty of items. The Mad Cow bag has a side and bottom gusset, long reinforced handles, and is machine washable.

Grab one for yourself and one for a pal. Moo!
