D.C. VegFest entrance.

There should be no surprise that this year’s D.C. VegFest, which took place this past Saturday on the campus of George Washington University, was a success — after all, D.C. was recently ranked as the most veg-friendly city in North America. Organizers Compassion Over Killing and the Vegetarian Society of D.C. estimate over 5,000 visitors came to the festival to celebrate and revel in vegetarian delights, including speakers, cooking demos, food vendors and exhibits. Oh, and don’t forget the life-size man-carrot. Who said vegetarians don’t have a sense of humor?
