The Vegetarian Resource Group has just released a new and improved version of The Vegetarian Journal’s Food Service Update and made it available to the public online. This Food Service Update includes the “names and addresses of over 85 companies offering vegetarian food items in institutional sizes listed alphabetically and by subject.” This is undoubtedly an indispensable resource for food service providers who wish to include more vegetarian and/or vegan options for their patrons and for advocates of increased availability of vegetarian dishes everywhere! This guide includes basic foods like beans, breads and grains as well as specialty items such as faux meats and vegan cheeses. If you’ve ever wondered how to make providing vegetarian/vegan options easier for food providers at your job, church, university, retirement community or hospital or your children’s school, camp, or sports activity, this guide can provide them with resources that are going to make this change seem like a realistic and mutually beneficial one!
