Over 75% of the produce are locally grown. The only organic item they have

is tofu. During the winter, farmers do not need to use pesticide on your

produce..cause there's no bugs during the winter.. (mostly no)

 

 

 

They are planning to grow their own produce. They also have free tours of

their restaurant for kids to educate them to eat healthy.

Fresh Choice is featuring " hearth healthy " foods this month.

 

 

 

I asked/begged the corporate office to make a mostly VEGAN foods month at

their restaurant..i didn't get it, but this is pretty close to it!!

 

 

 

I hope they will stock more vegan (hearth healthy) items in the menu.

They soft serve ice cream is not vegan, it contains casin

 

 

 

Even though it's labeled as lactose free and cholesterol free

 

Too bad it's not vegan and without bad ingredients in it. The manager

showed me the ingredients list. She took the packaged powered and showed it

to me. Yes, it even has artificial coloring , yuck.

The above info will help folks who have to socialize with family and co

workers or have to travel in the Western part of United States.

 

 

 

A vegan friend told me Steak houses has the best salad buffets , so that's

where he goes to eat! Ha ha

I bumped into a lot of veggie friends lately and they like my veggie posts.

I encourage everyone to contribute to the community by sharing info with

others. or donate some time to improve our community and help continue to

make it GROW bigger and BETTER.

 

 

 

If we are good examples, maybe the weirdo veggie folks will change a bit for

the better
