There's a lot to say about the meat-free diet, about stopping the suffering and slaughter of our friends, the animals, about the eco-slaughter of our planet, and we must get ourselves educated on the subject and speak out.

Savoy's Health Café
Submitted by drupadmin on February 20, 2007 - 3:40pm. restaurantSavoy’s Health Café is a diner style restaurant tucked away in an Edmonton strip mall located across from Southgate mall at 11010 – 51 avenue. The hours are a little different from most restaurants as this café opens at 11:30 am and closes at 7:00 pm, Monday to Saturday. I recommend calling (780-437-7718) before visiting for dinner, as sometimes the café seems to close early.

mikado japanese restaurant
Submitted by drupadmin on June 1, 2006 - 9:48pm. restaurantMikado - 10350 109 St (downtown) and 1903 98 St (South Edmonton Common)
Why is a sushi restaurant being reviewed in a vegetarian web site? I am convinced there are still alot of choices for vegans in Edmonton - you just have to pay attention to what's on the menu.

Submitted by drupadmin on May 30, 2006 - 9:18pm.For many people, vegetarianism is not only a diet but an entire way of living!
VOA promotes the Vegetarian diet and the Vegan diet (complete Vegetarian diet)
Vegetarian
In general terms, a vegetarian omits meat and meat products. Vegetarians do not consume:
- meat
(beef, pork/ham, sausage, bologna, hotdogs, pepperoni, etc.) - poultry
(chicken, turkey, etc.) - game meats
(buffalo, moose, caribou, etc.) - fish, shellfish, crustacea
(tuna, salmon, anchovies, shrimp, oyster, lobster, etc.) - meat products
(such as meat gravies, gelatin, meat soup stock, lard, etc.)
People who don’t eat red meat but continue to eat chicken or fish are making a very important first step, but they are not vegetarians. We usually call such people meat-reducers.
money
Submitted by drupadmin on May 30, 2006 - 7:39pm.Some people become vegetarian because of the links between meat production and poverty and famine in developing countries.
ethics
Submitted by drupadmin on May 30, 2006 - 7:39pm.Most people choose to become vegetarian because they believe it is wrong to slaughter animals for food and because they are opposed to the cruelty and suffering inflicted upon the billions of animals reared for food.
health
Submitted by drupadmin on May 30, 2006 - 7:39pm.The health advantages of a vegetarian diet are another commonly cited reason to become vegetarian, particularly among adults. A dislike of the taste of meat or religious reasons may also be a factor.
