Cafe Scuba at Long Beach Aquarium should serve veg/vegan entrees
We understand that Jerry Schubel, aquarium president, said in a statement that the
facility served only sustainable and environmentally friendly fish and
was committed to educating the public about conserving ocean
environments.
Recently in an LA TIMES article, spokeswoman, Marilyn Padilla was quoted as saying that "The 1.25 million people who visit the aquarium each year can
choose from an array of seafood dishes, including clam chowder, rainbow
trout and catfish, as well as tilapia and salmon."
What about some of those 1.25 million people who visit the aquarium
each year and would like to have at least one vegetarian (or vegan) entre at all times as not all of those visitors are meat-eaters?
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 entres are in
demand, and that offering veg meals is good for health and business!

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.
