January 15: COK Hands Out Free Vegan Food to Promote a Compassionate New Year

On Sat., Jan. 15, several Compassion Over Killing volunteers gathered outside of McDonald’s in West Hollywood to give away free vegan breakfast sandwiches to encourage consumers to make a compassionate New Year’s resolution and choose vegan foods in 2011.

Hitting the busy fast-food breakfast rush on Saturday morning, COK delighted passersby with delicious samples of vegan “egg mcmuffins”  (with “sausage,” “egg,” and “cheese” ), plus soymilk. With each sample of food, we also handed out our pro-veg literature, including our Vegetarian Starter Guide and Easy Vegan Recipes.

COK volunteers Kim and Luke offer samples of soy milk and vegan breakfast biscuits.

After tasting the vegan samples, a passerby stops to read our Vegetarian Starter Guide.

Even people driving away were stopping to try some of the vegan food!

The “sausage,egg, and cheese” biscuits were popular – and delicious.
