ChicagoVeg» Chicago area Raw Food, Vegan & Vegetarian Living

Welcome to ChicagoVeg – Community for Chicagoland Vegetarians, Vegans, Raw Foodists, and their friends.

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 outreach events in the city and the suburbs. 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 veg*n lifestyle, and we believe that a supportive community is vitally important to sustain a veg*n 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/raw foodists.

Please visit http://www.ChicagoVeg.com to learn more about our mission, as well as on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and MySpace.
