The Bite:

Board with your go-to candy stash? Race to the Fall Tricks and Treats cooking class, and get fresh ideas from the spunky, born-again vegan sisters behind Spork Foods. Jenny and Heather (who grew up carnivores, BTW) will show you how to make we-can't-believe-they're-vegan-but-they-sure-are goodies like caramel corn, mini peanut butter cups, and ghost- and ghoul-shaped pumpkin sugar cookies with a cinnamon glaze - all using organic and local ingredients. Plus, you'll leave with take-homes to share (or not…) with fam and friends. You game?

Why Care?:

Raising animals for food takes a lot of land, energy, water, and feed resources. Going vegan from time to time (especially when it's tasty like this) makes conservation easy.

There's always time: Jenny and Heather's dad went vegetarian at age 68.

Wanna Try:

Spork Foods (323-284-8733). Fall Tricks and Treats class (about 2.5 hours); Oct. 31 or Nov. 1, 11 am or 4 pm; cooking class, $65.

Cocktail Fact

Candy corn is the best-selling Halloween candy (Snickers ranks second).

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 LA Biters eat an organic peanut butter cup instead of a conventional one, we'll keep the weight of 192 pumpkins in pesticide-tainted candy outta our bellies.
