Queer can mean different things to different people, and to a politicised and inevitably younger generation, queer can mean a whole different lifestyle. It’s positive, it’s progressive and necessarily embraces the challenges that our environment faces in order to avert global catastrophe and maintain a sustainable future.
Many of us already realise that what we eat not only affects our personal health but it can also have a very negative impact on the environment. It is therefore no surprise that a lot of queers have embraced being vegan as one of the foundations of their lifestyle.
A new vegan festival comes to Fulham on Saturday 18th September.
It’s free and will be featuring more than fifty stalls of delicious vegan food. There will be live music from Peace On Your Plate, Queen V and Gavin Chappel Bates. You can participate in yoga, watch food demos from top vegan chefs, and enjoy other activities for all the family.
Showcasing the great range of vegan foods now available, the festival will also highlight the health, environmental and ethical benefits of a vegan lifestyle.
Juliette Bryant – co organiser and presenter told QX, “Veganism has grown exponentially in recent years. Individuals like world champion F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, comedian Russell Brand, musicians Sir Paul McCartney and Ariana Grande, and environmentalists Greta Thunberg and Chris Packham have changed the perception of veganism – bringing the issues surrounding it into the mainstream.”
It will be an enjoyable day out for vegans and non-vegans alike.
The Fulham Feel Good Vegan Fest comes out of the growing vegan scene in Fulham, reflected in the North End Road Strategy to make it an Ethical and Vegan Quarter.
Fulham is becoming a mecca for great vegan food. Vegan Restaurants in and around Fulham include O Burger, Simply Vegan, Brooklyn Pizza, Eat of Eden, 222 Veggie Vegan, Tell Your Friends and several more.
The festival aims to bring vegan cuisine to new customers, highlighting the range of delicious vegan foods available locally.
As well as great food and the very best in ethical stalls the Fulham Feel Good Vegan Fest will feature live music from vegan chart-band Peace On Your Plate, food demos by top vegan chefs, and talks and demos on vegan heath and yoga.
Younger people will be well catered for too with various activities for all the family.
Fulham Feel Good Vegan Fest takes place on Saturday 18th September in Normand Park from 10am till 6pm. Entrance is free.
