VegIU to have callout meeting

VegIU, IU’s club dedicated to vegan and vegetarian diets, will hold its callout meeting at 8 p.m. Tuesday.

 The meeting will take place in Ballantine Hall Room 109.

The group plans to talk about its history at IU and ask attendees what they hope for the club to achieve in the upcoming year according to its member email.

Vegan and vegetarian food will also be served.

Among the food will be cupcakes from Rainbow Bakery, a vegan bakery that opened in Bloomington less than a month ago.

Traditionally, the group meets every other week to discuss vegan and vegetarian food-related topics.

 Such topics include the health, ethical and environmental effects of following a vegan or vegetarian diet.

Apart from the biweekly meetings, members also hold special events, including dinners, speeches and film screenings.

Though VegIU centers its meetings on vegan and vegetarian issues, the group says “vegans, vegetarians, omnivores” are welcome on its Facebook group.

Meat eaters won’t be discriminated.

For those who can’t make the callout meeting, VegIU will screen its first film, “Vegucated,” at 8 p.m. Sept. 17.
