Glendora Vegetarian Club
Did you enjoy Julia Dunn’s interview of Glendora “Positively Upstate” on CBS Channel 6? The Glendora Vegetarian club was thrilled with the joy and excitement it radiated all over the advertiser’s territory.
You can search it on their website or watch it on YouTube. The Glendora Vegetarian Club bought 10 ads on college basketball for $3400, the ads were 5 seconds long. WHAT!?
“Ninety-years-old, no doctors, no medicine…Go Vegan! Come to our meetings and intercept the fun and freedom veganism can give you. After all is said and done, the only thing that matters is how did you treat others. “Others” includes animals. How did you treat others? Glendora will go so far as to say that you will never have the peace of God unless you are vegan. Live harmlessly. For pre-workout meals, the cardio athlete might want to eat less high-fiber foods to reduce the risk for abdominal upset during activity, since digestion is reduced during exercise. Digestible carbs such as fruit may be beneficial. Athletes should get to know their own body’s preferences for what to eat pre- and post-workout. American Vegan 18-3
