Fantastic Foods Promotes Vegetarian Diet to Help the Environment

 

PETALUMA, Calif., April 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Fantastic Foods, the leading

brand

in high-quality, all-natural convenience foods, is urging Americans to seek

environmentally friendly alternatives by incorporating more vegetarian

selections into their diets. With Earth Day approaching, many consumers are

looking for ways to tread lighter upon the earth. Planting more trees and

choosing alternative modes of transportation remain popular choices that

have

seeped into mainstream values, and vegetarianism leads the way as one of the

hottest lifestyle trends whose far-reaching impacts nourish environmental as

well as health concerns.

 

Bon Appetit's third annual reader survey, " How America Eats, " reports that

seven out of 10 readers eat vegetarian entrees for dinner at least once a

week. Hotels such as the Marriott and Four Seasons have also responded to

this trend by offering room service and in-house restaurant vegetarian

selections. However, the most telling of all is the influence of today's

youth.

 

Cookbooks such as Vegetables Rock! A Complete Guide for Teenage Vegetarians

reflects the influence of this population. Vegetables Rock! targets parents

to educate and supervise their teen's vegetarian choices. Organizations such

as The Vegetarian Youth Network, a grassroots effort run entirely by and for

teenagers, offers one of many support vehicles for vegetarian youth.

 

>From the Great American Meatout to its Diet for a New Millennium awareness

campaign, Fantastic Foods has consistently been at the forefront in

promoting

the virtues of vegetarianism as one of the leading food producers of this

trend. Fantastic Food's extensive line of all-natural, vegetarian products

include soy meals, elegant grains, packaged entree and side dish mixes; and

instant cups of soups, cereals, stuffed mashed potatoes and pastas. Their

latest products include three new rice pilafs made with organic rice and

orzo

and the world's biggest soy-based instant soup cup: Big Soup Noodle

Bowls --

available in four flavors.

 

Fantastic Foods, celebrating 25 years of leadership in the natural foods

industry, is based in Petaluma, Calif. The company produces more than 100

convenient, vegetarian natural food products. Visit the Web site at
