I always thought their food was decent for cafeteria food. Wegmans will carry a decent selection of organic items (though I'm not so sure about produce).

It was THE fight between my little four year old self and my parents because I refused for hours to eat a stuffed pepper. My dad finally conceded that he didn't like brussels sprouts and gave up trying to make me eat everything on my plate. Today, I like all veggies except mushrooms.<BR/>When Mama made stuffed peppers, she just put mine in a ramekin to bake. Oh, and she snuck in peppers anyway, by cooking them in spaghetti sauce (with onions, too) until squishy and then whizzing them up in the blender with the sauce.

I am not a vegan or even a vegetarian (sorry!) but I think I could be based on your lunches. I work in an office so bringing my lunch to work with me would be so ideal and I love those lunch boxes. I think I am going to buy one for me and one for my partner, who is a vegetarian. <BR/><BR/>I was wondering though if you had ever thought about putting up a grocery list of the foods you buy? I think that would be awesome. Most of the things you talk about I have never heard of before. The nearest grocery store to me that sells organic and vegan foods is a Wegman's 45 minutes away, but I would not mind the drive if I had in mind what to get. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for putting up this site. I think you are going to show a lot of people how easy it is to eat vegan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1138213847481094912006-01-25T10:30:00.000-08:002006-01-25T10:30:00.000-08:00Speaking of this type of stuff, Whole Foods used t...Speaking of this type of stuff, Whole Foods used to have vegan bulgar walnut loaf, or maybe vegan walnut bulgar loaf, in their deli.
