Pensacola Visit

30 January 201519 April 2015Greg Fuller

It was great visiting with Terri, Crystal, Andy, Desmond, and Puck on Wednesday and Thursday. On Thursday Andy made a vegan version of his favorite Risotto recipe. The dish was naturally creamy without oils, used porcini mushrooms and spinach, and contained no added salt. It was so good. The picture is from Andy’s recipe book, but our dish looked almost just like it.

Earlier in the day Terri, Puck, and I visited Fort Pickens, built with 21 million bricks in 1834. It is perhaps best known for Geronimo’s imprisonment.

Direct Action in Los Angeles

8 January 201519 April 2015Greg Fuller

I was happy to participate in a direct action with Direct Action Everywhere in Los Angeles back in July, after attending the Animal Rights National Conference. In this post on medium.com a few days ago, Alex Lockwood describes what it was like to be there, and he nails it. One of the high points for me was when the Sikh gentleman joined us.

Direct Action in Los Angeles

“I wish I knew how to die more comfortably. Or for how long to remain dead. I’m a beginner at this. I’ve fallen down on my shoulder and my head’s not supported, so my neck is straining, but I don’t want to move — I’m dead, right? ”

Happy 80th Birthday Alex Hershaft

12 July 201419 April 2015Greg Fuller

When he was asked if having family die in the Holocaust had anything to do with his life being devoted to improving the lives of animals, he stated that it had everything to do with it. This is Alex Hershaft, co-founder of the Animal Rights movement in the US, right after being presented the lifetime achievement award at AR Conference in LA. He is 80 years old, and of course, vegan.

DxE Action in Oakland

17 June 201419 April 2015Greg Fuller

A couple of days ago I joined Direction Action Everywhere for a protest outside a Chipotle Restaurant in Oakland. Chipotle spends millions to promote an image of caring about the animals they are killing. They are taking advantage of people’s sympathy toward animals by giving the impression that their products are humane. See this Salon article for more details.

There are more photos here and a video here.

Maria’s Surprise

11 February 201419 April 2015Greg Fuller

After working this morning, I decided to go north along highway 1, thinking perhaps I might make it to Titusville. But I was only a few miles up the road, getting close to Vero Beach, when my stomach reminded me I needed to eat. I have food in the Roadtrek, but just on a whim, I asked Siri for a “vegetarian restaurant near Vero Beach”, knowing a vegetarian joint often has vegan options. I didn’t expect any response at all, but I was in for a pleasant surprise. On to Maria’s Organic Fountain.
