While it doesn’t compare to the abundance of vegetarian options in Los Angeles, New York or San Francisco, San Diego is becoming an easier place to find veggie food.
Compassion Over Killing and Animal Protection and Rescue League have teamed up and impress with their new brochure, “The Vegetarian Guide to San Diego.”

July 17 was La Milpa Organica Farm’s potluck and movie, held on the third Saturday of each month and well-loved by many in the San Diego area. The event, held at the farm five miles north of Escondido, consists of a free open house during which people tour the farm and learn where their food [...]
I had a blast at PlanetFest 2010- the second annual Vegan Earth Day in Orange County on June 27, put on by Bob Linden of GoVeganRadio and filled with vegetarian leaders. It was a sunny day and a good flow of people attended throughout the day. Many booths provided educational info, and delicious veggie food [...]
Veggie health — the well-being of not only vegetarians and vegans but vegetables themselves — is easy when we have a nonprofit like San Diego Roots, which has been strengthening the local food movement since 2001.

Besides watching a bellydancer and live music, people were raving about the treats made by raw foods diet chef Jenn Shultz of Wabi-Sabi Foods (a Japanese term meaning “the beauty in imperfection”) at Spring Awakening, an event at Red Lotus Society on May 8. Wabi-Sabi Foods is Shultz’s new business striving to bring healthy, local, [...]
I went cuckoo for chocolate (and everything else) at the Fair Trade Open Air Market on May 1 held by San Diego Friends of Fair Trade on a lovely sunny day. Fair trade seeks greater equity in international trade, based on fair compensation and working conditions, dialogue with growers and producers, sustainable development, and related [...]
As spring sunshine makes an appearance, so does the opportunity to attend more outings. There were so many veggie health and similar events the last few weeks it would be hard to attend them all, at least in San Diego.
