The more you know :-)

Isn't it funny how it's seen as 'strong' to eat meat and 'weak' to eat plants... see for yourselves 🗡️ 💪

Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna and the University of Bern analyzed bones from a cemetery in the ancient city of Ephesus, located in present-day Turkey. The team studied the remains of 22 gladiators, uncovering a diet heavy in grains and legumes, with minimal evidence of animal products.

The analysis revealed a consistent pattern: wheat, barley, and beans formed the core of the gladiators’ meals. These findings align with historical references to fighters as “hordearii,” or “barley men,” highlighting their reliance on plant-based nutrition.

Researchers noted little trace of meat or dairy in the bones, suggesting that even elite Roman athletes who performed under grueling conditions in front of massive crowds were able to maintain strength and stamina on a largely meat-free diet.

We want to thank each and every one of these incredible human beings who helped make this year's Tofurkey Drive happen. We successfully baked all the pies and put all of the meals together for the community. We will begin delivering to the Rosauers and huckleberries locations and participants can start picking their feast up. We are a whole 2 days earlier than the past 8 years. Two families were unable to pick up their meals on Wednesday last year and so they didn't get a Thanksgiving meal. So, we wanted to be proactive and make sure that doesn't happen this year.

Thanks again to Daiya Foods , Huckleberry's Natural Market , Rosauers Supermarkets , South Hill Trader Joe's, Spokane Forklift & Construction Equipment Inc. and all of our wonderful individual donors.

Application is open November 17, 2022 . Every year we provide Thanksgiving meals for hundreds of vegan or veg-curious individuals in the community who are experiencing hard times. If you, or someone you know, is in need of a vegan feast for Thanksgiving, please send them the link to apply.

Donations greatly help our efforts. Give if you can. Thank you.

Much appreciation to Huckleberry's Natural Market, Rosauers Supermarkets, Trader Joe's-Spokane,WA, Daiya Foods, Field Roast, Spokane Forklift & Construction Equipment Inc. and our individual donors for helping make this event happen!!!

Every November, Kind Living Collective provides vegan holiday meals to families in need. We feel that often the food bank simply cannot provide an ample meal for vegans and so that is why our event was created. We want people to feel truly loved!

One of our corporate sponsor's decided to stop doing donations for events as large as ours so donations would be very helpful this year. Give if you can. Thank you.
