Avery Yale Kamila is the long-running author of the Vegan Kitchen column in the Maine Sunday Telegram newspaper. https://www.pressherald.com/foodanddining/vegan-kitchen/ In early 2020, just days before the pandemic lockdowns began, she discovered the clue which unearthed hundreds of years of buried history of vegetarianism in Maine. She continues to dig into this past erased by cultural forces seeking to diminish and dismiss vegetarianism as a "fad" or a "diet," when it is a social change movement active for more than two thousand years.Avery’s The Vegan Kitchen column runs in the Maine Sunday Telegram statewide newspaper:https://www.pressherald.com/food/vegan-kitchen/Social mediahttps://www.facebook.com/averyyalekamilahttps://www.instagram.com/averyyalekamila/More of interest from Avery Yale Kamilahttp://www.twitter.com/AveryYaleKamila~ Maine's Hidden Vegetarian History Project ~Wabanaki nut milk is America's original milk - https://bit.ly/32o7ZhrMaine’s pioneer vegetarians - http://bit.ly/2XEoz9NJacksonian health reformers prescribe the vegetable diet - http://bit.ly/39rZ2nK1834 Graham riot in Portland - https://bit.ly/35Sxxo3Maine’s 19th century vegetarian newspaper - https://bit.ly/3qrilHuProphet from Maine popularizes vegetarianism nationally - http://bit.ly/3qPO315Maine native shapes commercial vegetarian food market - bit.ly/3p5VzWG20th century Good Life gurus ate no flesh - http://bit.ly/3aIRAIQSignificance of 1975 World Vegetarian Conference in Orono - http://bit.ly/343HJuh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Plant Based / Vegan Life Coaching.
