Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 Hello, I am fairly new to the vegan thing and am having a hard time with eating out. . .it seems that there are very few restaurants that have ANYTHING vegan on the menu. It is also tough when dining at friends houses, etc. . ..I am in a lay minister program at a soup kitchen and they feed us for free but there is rarely anything vegan available. . .we also have lay minister dinners where one of us cooks for the rest once a week and I have the same problem there. I'd love to get some feedback on this. . .how do you all cope with this problem- do you just give up eating out altogether or bring your own food with you everywhere you go? Neither solution seems very feasible. . .with so many vegans out there why on earth aren't there more vegan restaurants or at least vegan items on the menus? I live in one of the most progressive areas in the country (CA) and I'm shocked and dismayed at the lack of options available for those who are trying to live a healthier lifestyle. P.S. A while back there was a vegan margarine that was recommended to the group. . .does anyone remember what it was? I seem to have misplaced that e-mail. Thanks!!
