…and then there were choices!!

i was totally shocked wednesday morning. for first time in probably years i stopped at a starbucks for a cup of tea (because it was on the way to my destination). though i was hungry, i went in search only of tea, for any vegan knows that mainstream coffee shops are not the place to find healthy vegan munchies (except the occasional overpriced banana). but there they were! baskets of vegan goodies waiting to be devoured! i settled on a “two moms in the raw” granola bar because it was a brand i have been wanting to try anyway. according to vegnews magazine, vegan meal options are on the rise. in a nationwide survey of chefs, vegan menu additions were number 13 on a long list of major trends in the food industry for 2010. can we expect to see a veggie grill open on every corner? unfortunately not, but i am already starting to see the progress and, after years of suffering through dry salads and naked baked potatoes in most restaurants, I AM READY!
