Guest guest Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 this is exactly what my wife and i do. we eat like vegan royalty, even in the middle of nowhere. i may have mentioned this book in the past, but i wanted to give another hearty recommendation for the Tofu Tollbooth. buy it, and leave it in your car: http://www.tofutollbooth.com/ The Tofu Tollbooth is a treasure trove of hand picked natural and organic food stores and other great places to stop, eat and take a breather in the forty-eight contiguous states. It's the essential guide to good eating. On 11/07/03, littlemy wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I'm not quite sure how we got on the whole Tacobell, junk food, etc. Not > really locally-related?
