Boston Vegetarian Food Festival Brings Big Crowds

Tens of thousands of people congregated at the 16th annual Boston Vegetarian Food Festival last weekend for two full days of fun, great vegan food and tips for transitioning to a healthy and humane plant-based lifestyle. With a host of vegetarian food providers from across the country, along with educational exhibits from leading animal advocacy organizations, including a “Paid-Per-View” station hosted by Mercy For Animals, attendees were inspired to explore the wide variety of delicious, healthy and readily available vegan foods that are good for people and friendly to animals and the environment.

Visitors also enjoyed cooking demos from Los Angeles’ Chef AJ, and Ellen Jaffe Jones, author of Eat Vegan on $4 a Day: A Game Plan for the Budget-Conscious Cook.
