5 Reasons to Vegan this Week!

by Chef Tanya Petrovna Native Foods Cafe 1. Cause Jane Said So! Jane Velez Mitchell that is.  In L.A. we can say we knew her when! She was our most fabulous vegan customer in Westwood for many years and now you can see her on CNN with her show "Issues," and when Jane talks we listen! I caught up with Jane last week in from New York covering the Conrad Murray trial and we spoke about helping people, make sound food choices, and eating vegan. She said we should make the Sanjay Gupta Heart Attack video viral, so let's do it!    2.Rainbows!  This rainbow appeared after eating only one vegan lunch, imagine what you'd see eating vegan all the time! 3.Pheasant Hunting Season Begins Oct. 1 In Britain more than 45 million pheasants and partridges are produced en mass to be used as targets for shoot outs. Bah.  It's not a game. It's a disgrace. Find out more info www.animalaiduk.org   4.This Picture! In the New York Times about eating chicken skin... really?  Is this attractive? Ingrid Newkirk speaks up!  "It's downright offensive, not just to people who care about animals but almost to everyone. It's a plucked, beheaded, young chicken in a young pose," she said.  5. Spork Fed The fabulous Spork Sisters' (Jenny Engel and Heather Goldberg) new vegan cookbook is out.  If you are in West Hollywood you can also take a class with them in their studio... or from anywhere in the world you can do an online class! http://www.sporkfoods.com/
