Hi,

 

I live in Westport, just over the Massachusetts line from RI, and honestly, if

there are vegetarians out there, I haven't run into them! I moved here from a

town just south of San Francisco two years ago, and it's been difficult,

foodwise, to get used to this area. California is, of course, food heaven for

anyway who is sensitive to health or ethical matters -- an o/l vegetarian and

even a vegan can usually order directly from the menu in most restaurants

instead of having to go through the " but is there any chicken stock in it? "

routine, or even worse, beg the waiter to have the chef cobble together an

entree. But the south coast of Massachusetts is the land of the lobster,

linguica, and the " meat raffle, " whatever that is!

 

However, take heart, because in Providence you have Whole Foods (actually two of

them now), and I have noticed postings on the bulletin board there about

vegetarian family events. Perhaps you should take a browse through there and

try to connect with some local families.

 

Good luck,

 

Terry

I am new to this group and I would like to know if

anyone out there is from the RI area. We have 2 kids

and I think it is important for them to know that they

are not the only vegetrians in our town - although it

seems that they just might be.
