So I’m vegan, and I’m part of this animal welfare organization at my high school (PAW), and the prez was trying to organize an assembly about vegetarianism/veganism, just to help people get informed (food options, environmental, health, etc). We’re going to try to be as un-PETA-ish as possible, not going to be rude or yell or anything. I’d rather not speak/present, because I’m really quiet, but I feel like I should do something.

I was thinking of setting up a table where people leave the auditorium, with vegan goodies. When people think vegan, they usually think ‘vegetables, tofu’, and that really gets on my nerves sometimes.

So I was just going to have stuff like mini banana nut muffins, pumpkin spice bread, peanut butter-chocolate pillows, cupcakes with buttercream icing, etc, for people to try, and just see that vegan food isn’t disgusting.

And have little slips of paper with the recipes for the food on it for people to take home to try?
(I’d be making most of the stuff, and all modesty aside I’m pretty darn good at making junk food )

Is that rude or obnoxious? Too in-your-face?

Do you think people would try it (they’re usually pretty critical/wary of vegan food)? Its an all-teen-girls school, so I feel like if I put out chocolate/junk, it would probably be eaten, but I’m not sure.

Do you have any suggestions as to stuff I should do?

Everyone’s input is appreciated, veg*n or otherwise, thanks in advance for all non-troll answers
Fransesca, I like that I’m not as good with healthy food as I am with baked goods, but maybe samples of vegetable samosas, pasta salad, spring rolls? Thanks for the idea!
