Tasty Vegetarian Concoctions at Café Mac

Don't be afraid to go for the desserts; they don't taste like broccoli. For some reason, vegan desserts taste a lot better this year than last, and that's according to my dairy-consuming friends. When you think about it, vegan desserts shouldn't taste that different from regular desserts- you're just replacing the butter with soy butter.
If you get tired of Café Mac, try shopping for yourself. You can get some experience foraging on your own and you'll find some space-age products. All of your old favorites are out there, there's veggie chicken, sausage, ribs, jerky, and lobster, vegan ice cream, cream cheese, mayonnaise, whipped cream and cheese that actually melts.
It all tastes great, and overall I have a greater appreciation for the ingredients that sustain my life.
If you're interested in trying it out and have any questions, please shoot me an email at alevine4@mac, or check out any of these cool books: Animal Liberation by Peter Singer (a philosophical perspective), the China Study by Cambell and Campbell (a health perspective), or Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan's (a perspective on eating in general). If you don't become vegetarian, that's fine. But I'd recommend that you eat less meat- it's better for you, for the environment, and for the animals.
