One Girl, One City, One Royally Tasty Project
What is my mission? To boldly go where no vegan has gone before.
I'm convinced I can turn the City of New Westminster into a kind of Mecca for Vegans all over the lower mainland. Why New West? The easy answer is because I live here. The harder answer is because the thought of trying to change the entire world was just too daunting. Luckily New Westminster has a large number of small, independent restaurants that I can start my project with.
My goal is to reach out to these wonderful eateries and establish the following goals:
- Educate restaurant staff on the term "vegan" and what it stands for.
- Provide minimum one vegan option that isn't a veggie burger (and if they have a veggie burger than at least get one without egg/cheese inside it).
- Mark the menu with wording consisting of "vegan options available" or similar.
Aside from my purely selfish standpoint of having lots of places to dine out at the reasoning behind this cause is that it is really important for the animals, your health and the planet to eat less animal products. With vegan options on the menu I'm hoping people will make a compassionate food choice on a more frequent basis.
Join me in saving the planet one restaurant meal at a time!
