Is LA the vegan capital of the world? According to a new article
in the Los Angeles Times, it just
might be.
Journalist Mary MacVean, who joined thousands
around the world in eating vegan the month of January, discovered that the City
of Angels is home to 60 vegan eateries, from cafés to fancy, special-occasion
restaurants. Even LAX, the city’s international airport, has a vegan hotspot! And
it doesn’t stop there; many restaurants that serve meat also offer a slew of
vegan options.
According to MacVean, “There’s
no need to be stuck in a burger cafe ordering the bun and condiments. There are
plenty of naturally vegan dishes on menus these days; many chefs are having a
field day using vegetables in creative ways.
MacVean features celebrated
LA-based vegan chefs Matthew Kenney and Tal Ronnen, who head up the incredible
restaurants M.A.K.E. and Crossroads, respectively. Kenney believes the rise in
vegan eating has to do with people’s desire to eat more consciously.
But even if you don’t
live in LA, vegan options at restaurants across the nation abound! Check out
this awesome short video highlighting delicious vegan options at some of the country’s
most popular fast-food establishments.
No matter where you
live, there has never been a better time to say goodbye to cruel animal
products and adopt a humane vegan diet. Visit ChooseVeg.com to learn more.
