Central Illinois Vegan

Have you ever wondered where you should go to find some decent veggies to nom around Champaign county? Look no further than the Common Ground Food Co-op. This place has it all! From artichokes to apples, spinach to spaghetti squash, it's all right here. This is the place you can come to for locally-produced goods, ethically priced coffees, as well as recipes, workshops, refrigerated and frozen goods, and of course a healthy selection of bulk goods.

Are you drinking enough water? According to the Mayo Clinic's website, men should consume 3 liters of water per day, and women should consume 2.2 liters of water per day. Sure, that sounds like a lot of water, but were we to back off on the coffee and soft drinks, maybe it wouldn't sound so unreasonable.

Have you ever been a vegan in a non-vegan grocery store? Chances are, you've had a vegaccident. What's a vegaccident? How do you have one? Did I just make that word up? Why yes, I did just pull that word from my nether-regions. A vegaccident is when a vegan or vegetarian accidentally buys or eats something that is not vegan or vegetarian friendly. Please note, this is different than a vegolation (yes, I just made that word up too), which is when a vegan or vegetarian knowingly and willingly consumes a product containing meat- or animal-based ingredients.
