Guest guest Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hello BUNKY!!!! You say there are no good restaurants with vegan food. You say there are only very few good raw restaurants. You say you can't go out because no restaurant has any vegan or good vegetarian dishes. You say gas is too expensive. Is that what's troubling you, Bunky? Well, here's the answer to all your prayers! Right under your nose is the Good Mood Food Cafe in Huntington Beach Yes, there's raw, there's vegan, there's vegetarian foods... super tasty and at popular prices! We want to charge LOTS more, but NO! We have your interests in mind. With gas prices on the rise (don't they always rise??), and with what you save on food here, you can give money to the big gas companies to help them in their times of needs. ) You say that GMF isn't 100% raw? You say GMF isn't 100% vegan? You say GMF isn't 100% organic? You say GMF isn't 100% anything???? Is that what's troubling you, Bunky? Well, here's the answer! Compared to all the other restaurants out there you say you can't go to, we for sure have the most to offer even without being 100% of this or that. Unfortunately the 100%ers rarely came in while we were 100% raw and vegan the first two years. Our fifth year is starting and yet in the Huntington Beach area (over ONE MILLION people) there are still so very few of the healthiest eaters. We are here to help the 99.9999% of the population to TRANSITION to a healthier diet. Did you know around here we are called the Hippie Place? The Weirdo's? The Wacko's? WHY? Because we don't fry, microwave, or use white flour, white sugar or white salt? And they call us NUTS! We're proud of that!! Are you afraid to come in and be known as NUTS? Is that what's troubling you, Bunky? Well, we are one of the only beacons of hope in Orange County. The bastion of all that is natural, tasty and healthy. Let US take the brunt of the abuse and derision! If we go away, the neighborhood will fall into ruination. DO YOU WANT THAT? No? Then join us! Bring in your scared, bloated, suffering, trembling friends and family. Introduce them to us and we'll take over. Let them call us and ask all their fearful and " humorous " questions, with their thinly disguised arrogant pronouncements, steeped in their dyed-in-the-wool stubbornness. Release your worry! We are here to protect you. We WANT to have the transitional people here, the ones who KNOW something is wrong but who hate to give up their SAD diets. Send them, deliver them, or let us send a shuttle bus for them. Whatever it takes in these times of need and stress. Or do nothing! Yes, that's another way. Do nothing. Sit at your computer and complain to your associates on line that there is nothing in your neighborhood with good food. Tell them that the cafes out there only produce complicated food that's tough to digest, they use the " wrong " amino acids, they charge way too much and they won't hand-carry the proper food right to your doorstep. Is that what's troubling you, Bunky? Well, here's the answer! We at GMF will go the extra mile for you. We'll drive through hundreds of miles of traffic and bring the proper foods right to you. Then we'll wait for you to come home, we'll unwrap it all, place it on your table, tuck a napkin into your collar and spoon feed it to you. When you're done, we'll wipe your little mouth, then clean up every crumb, and put it all into neat storage boxes in your refrigerator. On the way out of the house, we'll be sure to vacuum up every little bit of dirt. (Please ask for our catering menus! Service areas are all over Santa Barbara, LA, OC, San Diego and Inlands) OK, look, people! If you are, and we think you are, the LEADERS of this movement, the Raw Vegan Movement, then LEAD! Get the people interested with your example. Show them how happy and satisfied you are with your lifestyle. DON'T HIDE yourself. Be strong! Be available to answer questions! Be the one the people around you talk about! Smile, yes, smile that pleasant smile of yours! Some of you have shown us that you can do it. That you can take the surprisingly ignorant, the amazingly goofy questions and turn them around to show there is a better way. And that you're proud of it. Thank you one and all who brought in a friend or family member. Now we need you to go beyond what you've already done. Here's the plan: if only 100 of you, we'll call you " The 100 " , will bring in two friends new to Good Mood Food, between now and New Year's Eve, that will be 200 people. When THEY bring in two people each, that will be 400 new people. Now here's the good part. If the 400 bring in two people, that will be 800. So add it up-- not counting The 100-- is 1400 new people! Even if they don't like the food, the prices, the atmosphere or my nose, they will be more aware of the possibilities of how to improve their lives. Maybe this is much too optimistic thinking, and my math is faulty, but something drastic must be done! We want to get to 2% of the Huntington Beach population (and of course some from all areas) to get to the Tipping Point where the majority of the population will be aware of the food. Traditional coupons and advertising aren't working. We, the Movement, need the help of major word-of-mouth advertising. An all-out offensive! A surge if you will. What do you get out of it? Just the fact that the OC Beacon of Hope will continue to shine in years ahead. You will continue to have a place to relax and eat in the style you have chosen. If the surge doesn't work to continue to grow the Movement, then we will coast... and we can only coast in one direction. Or we could get into deep-fried cheese sticks and rolled in slabs of meat, then deep-fried again to a golden brown and covered in a thick cheese sauce. With a side of crinkly-cut fries. Thank you to all our customers who come in regularly and bring us their smiles and encouragements. Hope to see all the rest of you soon with two of your friends. Please send comments as always to: Chef Ursula at goodmoodfood P.S. Please don't forget to RSVP for the Thanksgiving Dinner!
