Cool Earth 2010!

VSI at Cool EarthHello Everyone!

I'm here at Cool Earth at the Festival of World Cultures in Dun Laoghaire spreading awareness of vegetarianism, and of course promoting the Vegetarian Society of Ireland. Colm, Lisa and Fiona are manning the stand with me, and we are enticing passers-by with our yummy dairy free chocolate which is being munched by all! Entertainment is being provided by talented Nepalese drummers and dancers with amazing energy.

If you're in the area pop in to say hi! We'll be here all day today and tomorrow, and are in the county hall opposite the shopping centre. Hope to see you!

Welcome back to Our Glorious D3 Generator!

The Vegetarian Society of Ireland would like to extend a warm welcome to Our Glorious Guest, the Blinding D3 generator from Outer Space, and wish to offer our bare arms (necks, faces, knobbly knees) as a sign of friendship!

Sun worshippers gone mad!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So that's how we get our essential intake of vitamin D when the summer sun finally shines on Ireland.  In winter time, though, the sun is too low in the sky, at our latitude, to generate vitamin D in our skin.   That's important because recent research has linked deficiencies of vitamin D to a whole host of nasties such as fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, upper respiratory tract infections, premenstrual syndrome, polycystic ovary disease, psoriasis, muscle weakness, lower back pain, diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancer.
