Feeling the compassion at the Sacramento VegFest

The Sacramento Vegan Society gathers around the idea that “compassion is sexy.” The group even has red shirts with yellow font displaying the message to anybody who is willing to think about what it is presenting.

Representative Linda Middlesworth, 68, said she lives by this message. She was at the Sacramento Vegfest on Feb. 4 to assist people in thinking about living a “healthy vegan diet.”

According to Middlesworth, her compassion is for all living beings: plants and animals. She said that sexiness comes from the compassion that people share to help live by this lifestyle.

There were many exhibits at the Vegfest that were not as upfront as Middlesworth, but compassion for people was evident. Speakers their thoughts for what they believe is a better way of life. By no means did anybody push or attempt to force anything.

Michelle McCarty, owner and CEO of Wonder Wormin’, is a local supplier of vermicomposting systems, which fertilizes growing plants with red worm castings, or simply just worm poop. She calls the red worm specifically a “hero of the dirt.”

“We don’t seem to know about them,” McCarty said. “But we pull up weeds and see them all dangling there.”

She said this has forced her to think about what these worms are exactly doing – recycling the earth’s dirt with the rich nutrients of their organic waste.

There are over 1,000 different species of worms, the red worm being known as the best
for vermicomposting. According to McCarty, red-worm compost is the best quality, better than anything at a store. The compost is also known as, “black gold.” This is because the castings are a darker color but are compared to gold because they work so well.

Another exhibit was about the satisfaction of raising vegan dogs. According to David Middlesworth, 74, a border collie raised in England lived to be 27 years old. The dog was raised strictly vegan.

“There’s no good science to prove a vegan dog is healthier,” David Middlesworth said. “But, I think that’s just because it would cost too much money to prove.”

He said he believes the evidence speaks for itself. He has raised two rescued pit bulls as vegans for six-seven years. He explained that their breath is great, they have lots of energy and their fur is just as thick as any other regular fed pit bull.

“It’s obvious that people are healthier when they’re vegan,” David Middlesworth said. “Why wouldn’t
dogs be?”
