"Self-Service Cafe (10:00 a.m.5:00 p.m. daily)
We feature pizza, pasta, Mexican specialties made to order, clam
chowder in a sourdough bowl, and a wide variety of ready-made
sandwiches and salad entrees. Vegetarian meals, daily specials and
juicy hamburgers are served at the grill. Beverages, beer, wine and
desserts are also served."
Thank you very much for serving vegetarian meals at the self-service cafe. We're asking if you would consider serving at least one vegan platter on your menu at the full-service restaurant.
We offer to you, from one of the Farm Sancturay's campaigns, that the Restaurant Veg Pledge be considered. With this petition we will be including the materials needed to make this pledge. This also offers restaurants the opportunity to be listed on the Veg for Life website and in regional guides as a place where customers seeking a meat-free meal can be assured vegetarian fare. Please understand that vegetarian entrees are in demand, and that offering veg meals is good for health and business!
Click here for a list of establishments that have signed the Veg Pledge. People adopt a vegetarian lifestyle for many reasons, including the desire to treat animals with compassion, protect the environment and better overall health. Today, making the transition from an animal-dependent lifestyle to a compassionate, vegan way of life has never been easier. Meat substitutes and soy "dairy" foods have turned up at virtually every supermarket.
Whole-foods groceries and co-operatives with even wider arrays of healthful plant, soy and dairy-free foods are within reach of most Americans. Nearly
any restaurant, from fine dining to fast food, can prepare a flavorful, vegan meal.
Some of the diets aimed at eliminating animal products have widely recognized definitions.
Vegetarian: A vegetarian is someone who has eliminated all animal
flesh from their diet, but may still consume dairy products or eggs. More accurately, this is a lacto-ovo vegetarian.
Vegan: Someone who avoids animal flesh, as well as other animal
agriculture products that contribute to animal suffering, human health
problems and environmental damage. Vegans do not consume eggs or dairy products, and avoid animal ingredients in clothing and other consumer goods.

We wish to thank the Farm Sanctuary for their incredible campaign
and we petition that where customers seeking a meat-free meal can be assured vegetarian fare.
Sincerely,
By signing, you accept Care2's Terms of Service.
