IVS is teaming up with Veg Meet Up Group to share the film Forks over Knives. We’ll also have some healthful snacks & refreshments.

Contest: Share your veg*n horror stories

You’re at a family gathering and can’t seem to explain why you can’t eat the green beans with ham in them.

You’re at a work conference in the middle of nowhere and are forced to live on iceberg lettuce and coffee for days.

You spend an entire first date being exhaustively interrogated about your reasons for veg*nism.

Almost all of us have had moments such as these.

Submit your entries for worst veg*n moment in the comments. We will announce our favorite on twitter and facebook.
