Hey all. Today’s guest blog is from student activist Lucas Solowey, who, along with the Concordia Animal Rights Association (CARA), recently helped promote a hugely-successful Vegan Iron Chef competition at his school, Concordia University.
Warning: The food shown in these images is delicious, and not as close as it may appear.
While the chefs were chopping like crazy and creating their mouth-watering vegan dishes, the audience watched live via the campus video feed.
Iron Chef Douglas McNish from Raw Aura restaurant competed against Concordia students Mathieu Barrot (also a chef at local hotspot Bonny’s), and Cameron Fenton (chef, activist, journalist).

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
