Welcome to

This is kind of interesting. You wouldn’t think of fast-food and vegan or vegetarian going together in the same sentence, but turns out there are several meatless fast food joints around the world. New York (of course… they also have a restaurant devoted to PB&J), Berlin, and Boulder (the hippie capital of the world). Who knew?

Here’s a helpful link on how to get proper nutrition on a meatless diet. Hint: you don’t want to try surviving on ‘tater tots.

Did you know that there is a vegetarian food pyramid? Check it out:

Eating out typically presents challenges for the vegan eater. Last night my wife and I went out, but chose a local Indian restaurant (Nawab in Bethlehem). Since Indians lean heavily vegetarian, this is a choice which makes it much easier to stay on diet while still eating well.

We had a vegetable somosa appetizer, which was excellent. For dinner, I ordered Nav Ratten Korma (veggies in a rich almond sauce) while my wife ordered Paneer Tikka Masala (cubes of cottage cheese in a tomato sauce– my wife is a little less kinda vegan than I am). We also ordered a side of Onion Kulcha, an onion bread which is excellent for sopping up the sauces.

Dinner was great, very tasty, with lots of diverse flavors, as would be expected from Indian cuisine. So memo to self– if you have to eat out, an Indian restaurant is a good bet for a place to stay vegan but still eat well.

Is there any such thing as a miracle food? Probably not, but some foods are definitely more healthy than others, and one of the better things you can consume is green tea (especially if you’re drinking it instead of soda or corn syrup-laced sugar water).
