Friends of Animals & Millennium Restaurant at the San Francisco Green Festival
On November 5-6, 2005, thousands are expected to attend the environmental conference known as the “Green Festival,” which is being held at the San Francisco Concourse, located at Eighth and Brannan Street. This year, the crowd will have an opportunity to taste some of the finest and most environmentally-friendly fare of the Bay area. Friends of Animals has invited Millennium Restaurant to join our exhibit booth to offer a sampling of world-class cuisine, as prepared by reknown chef Eric Tucker.
Millennium Restaurant is a bustling, world-famous restaurant located in the Savoy Hotel at 580 Geary Street in Union Square. None of the tantalizing items on Millennium’s menu utilize animals or animal-based products.
Visitors to the Friends of Animals Green Festival exhibit on Saturday, November 5 (between 2:00 and 4:00 pm) will be treated to Millennium’s Toasted French Bread Crostini with three toppings: Herbed White Bean, Truffled French Lentils, & Tomato & Black Olive Salsa Cruda.
Festival-goers will also have the opportunity to purchase Dining With Friends: The Art of North American Vegan Cuisine, a diverse and life-affirming cookbook that is drawing rave reviews from Vegetarian Times, VegNews, Vegetarians in Paradise Web site, daily and weekly papers in Connecticut, the Nashville City Paper, and others in the upcoming months.
Priscilla Feral, co-author of the cookbook and president of Friends of Animals, will be signing books at the exhibit booth throughout the festival.

I am sympathetic to the animals slaughtered for food but supporting this issue is like putting the cart before the horse, no pun intended. If we treated our pets well, farm animals would fall in line. In my county alone 3000-5000 dogs and cats are gassed per year. Total waste. There is a “it’s not that big a deal” attitude. There is NO advertisements on my tv for spaying and neutering, they need to be more freqeunt and hard-core (commercial would need a PG14 rating). If Fido was respected, then Carmen the cow might get a break.
