What we’re about

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE "ABOUT THIS MEETUP GROUP" BEFORE JOINING

TheVeggieLink is open to anyone who wants to learn how to prepare simple plant-based, vegetarian, whole-foods. At our gatherings, live food demonstrations may be presented; and nutritional and educational information may also be provided depending on the particular venue. If you're interested in becoming "plant strong", or you want to learn new recipes for preparing vegetarian, whole-foods, this meetup is for you! We are interested in meeting other who are interested in a whole food plant based lifestyle. We will often gather and restaurants that serve plant based meals but if we prepare food, it will be totally "plant strong", dairy free, caffeine free, alcohol free and contain minimum amounts of oil and refined sugar.

Our goal is to provide a social environment that encourages Knoxville community residents to live a simple, wholesome and healthier life through exercise, plenty of sunshine, spiritual growth, and a vegetarian, whole foods plant-based diet.)
