I'll Take My Malathion on the Side, Please
There are plenty of vegetarian restaurants in California but not many that offer organic produce. For instance, there is a vegetarian restaurant near me that serves really tasty, cheap food but uses the cheapest ingredients possible and nothing is organic. They do good business because it's the only veg place in the vicinity. I know I'd be willing to pay more if they'd switch to organic ingredients and others probably would as well. I'm becoming increasingly paranoid about pesticides on produce after reading several stories about a link to Parkinson's disease and excessive pesticide consumption.
Is it too much to ask to be able to buy food that isn't sprayed with fifty carcinogens? I just want to eat a fresh, wholesome strawberry, but it's really hard to do that without also getting a dose of malathion.
I want to go out for dinner without coming home with a neurological disorder. I want to find a restaurant I can go to with family and friends on a regular basis, where we can eat, drink and be merry without getting toxic overload and maybe even have some organic wine. Am I asking too much? Are we doomed to live in a toxic world just because organic produce isn't "cost effective" for most restaurants? Maybe if consumers begin requesting organic produce restaurant owners will get the hint and start offering one or two organic menu items.
In the meantime, can anyone recommend any organic restaurants in California?
Comments
There is an organic brew pub in Ukiah. I think it's the first certified organic restaurant in California. There are also mostly organic all vegan dinners on Monday nights in Palo Alto. Check out www.peninsulamacro.org. I think the Bay Leaf cafe in Palo Alto may be all or partly organic. It's definitely vegan.
Happy organic eating!

I've recently gone vegetarian and almost completely vegan (I'm still taking vitamins that aren't vegan-I can't afford to throw them out). I don't eat dairy or eggs, and strive to be as organic as possible. Its hard no matter where you are, and you have to prepare snacks when you go out so you don't end up eating crap-but its worth it. I feel so much better since making this drastic change. IF you ever come to Atlanta there are several veggie and even some vegan friendly places, such as R. Thomas. Make your opinions heard with the veggie restaurant, you might make a difference. The more we speak out, the more our needs will be tended to.
