Introduction

I'm an optimistic health nut that whose favorite food is cantaloupe! I try to inspire people to eat healthier through trying delicious veggie meals and seeing for themselves.

How did you hear about the group? (a friend, Facebook, an invite, Meetup search, etc.)

Vadim

What's your favorite pastime?

Reading a good non-fiction book

What book would you recommend to your friends?

Without hesitation- Most Good, Least Harm by Zoe Weil.

If you will win 10 million dollars, what would you do?

I would put most of it in savings for the future and my children, pay off my family's debts, invest in sustainable companies, and donate to good causes in order to build big things like a new sanctuary area or community garden.

Welcome to ChicagoVeg – Chicagoland Vegetarian, Vegan, Raw Foodist Community.

ChicagoVeg is the largest Chicagoland community for vegetarians, vegans, and raw foodists to socialize and meet like-minded people. We organize a range of fun activities and educational events in the city and the suburbs. Whether you are vegan or not vegan, we welcome everyone who is interested in a vegan/vegetarian/raw lifestyle for any reason - ethical, environmental, health, or spiritual. We support a nonjudgmental community where everyone can feel welcome to express their opinions, socialize, and have fun! Some of the fun activities include the following: exchanging vegan recipes (raw and not raw), vegan food potlucks, dining out at local vegetarian/vegan/raw restaurants, lectures pertaining to the vegetarian/vegan/raw lifestyle, and outreach events that promote a vegan lifestyle. We see the importance of educating others about advantages of a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle, and we believe that a supportive community is vitally important to sustain a vegan/vegetarian culture.

Join us for delicious (raw food/vegan/vegetarian) meals, share your favorite recipes, discuss living a healthy (vegetarian - vegan - raw food) lifestyle, support green/eco living, and make new friends!

Everyone is welcome, from the vegetarian/vegan/raw food-curious to the 100% vegetarian/vegan/vegan raw foodists.

In addition to our monthly events, ChicagoVeg is also one of the lead organizers of the very first Chicago Veggie Pride Parade. The goal of the parade is "Celebrating the Vegan/Vegetarian Lifestyle!" Featuring guest speakers, a costume contest, and tons of fun, the Chicago Veggie Pride Parade (CVPP) is a wonderful all-encompassing event to support local vegans and vegetarians, as well as to raise awareness in the general public about the benefits of a plant-based diet. We encourage everyone, vegans or not vegans, to come and walk, socialize, learn, and of course celebrate the Vegan/Vegetarian lifestyle with us!
