The Mighty Veggie

Boo for Starbucks!They're not serving organic milk anymore.

Can you beleive Starbucks dropped organic mil from it's menu? The company *had* offered organic mil to it's customers since 2001 (According to Vegetarian Times magazine). However, "drinks made with organic milk have been a small percentage of total orders," said Michelle Grass, the company's senior vice president of global strategy.

As you guys know, people often purchase and request organic milm because of lack of rBGH (recombinant bovine growth hormone). Starbucks and others argue that regular milk also is rBGH-free but we know the truth. The Organic Consumers Association reminds us that Organic Milk is rBGH-free, but also requires that cows have access to a pasture and eat pesticide-free feed. So really.. Starbucks, just say what it is.. an excuse to cut costs. Is it so awful for us to expect you to serve only organic milk in the future?

Boooooooooo from me to Starbucks.

Belgian fry place on Commercial Dr. :: The Gravy

Did you know that the Belgain Fry Place on Commercial drive has veggie gravy?
? Well, it does, I was there the other day and it was pretty cool, I'm not going to life. As a vegetarian (not a vegan) I miss eating poutine once in a while. Granted, it's not healthy, but there is something pure comfort about it. Maybe because of school dinners. Anyhow, they have a good vegetarian gravy and if you eat cheese curds, then this is the place for you. If you don't you could just leave the cheese off? Actually, don't take my word for that, I don't know if the gravy is vegan or just vegetarian (you'd have to ask, sorry). But it's for sure vegetarian.

Anyhow, while they may not be the most exceptional fries I've ever had, they are fries and they're extray yummy when tons of gravy and cheese curds are piled on. It reminds me too much of my high school cafeteria. Ahh.. childhood.

Harvey's Veggie Burger :: Is it safe?

The second best vegetarian burger (although as equally hard to come by lately) is the Harvey's Vegetarian Burger. Slap two buns, lettuce, tomato, a few condiments together and it tastes pretty damn good! It's a fake-meat burger, not the cardboard grainy kind. Plus, if I remember correctly Harvey's does those thick strawberry shakes.

Tired of eating out with complaining meat eaters? Me too. It kills me that I have to 'drag' people out to try vegetarian restaurants. As if it's a foreign concept. (You know, they might DIE if they don't eat meat for one measly meal). Well, I just found out that right here in Vancouver BC the vegetarian of the lower main land can untie in one mass restaurant appearance and revel in the non-meaty company joy!!! PRAISE JEBUS! Vegetarians of Vancouver... UNITE.
