Vegetarians in Paradise/Our Mission

Mission

Our Mission is to offer our friends in the vegetarian community a nesting place to roost awhile and share information about a lifestyle that may keep us flying around a few years longer than our non-vegetarian friends.

At this nest we plan to offer some great places to eat wholesome vegetarian food, to shop for the best organic, fresh produce and prepared foods, to discover tasty recipes, cooking tips, and informative book suggestions. In other words, a gathering place for us fine-feathered birds who enjoy being just what we are--vegetarians.

To those who are non-vegetarians, we welcome you to check out our perch. You'll notice we soar a little higher in the sky, and we peck a little closer to the earth than the rest of the flock. Also, you don't have to be vegetarian to enjoy flavorful food and explore the array of healthful ideas and suggestions we delight in presenting.

We've learned much and have attempted to share what we've learned about the diverse resources available to vegetarians in this community. In a few instances we've discovered our information has even traveled beyond our community to places across the United States and overseas to Finland and South Africa. We are truly blessed with this marvelous communication device that is bringing the entire world closer. Chop

During this year we hope to continue adding new features and to encourage your participation in submitting feedback and ideas. Our goal is to make Vegetarians in Paradise a valuable resource for vegetarians not only in the Los Angeles area, but also in other areas brought closer to us by the worldwide web.

We're just a couple of adventurous pigeons named Zel and Reuben Allen who live in Los Angeles. With many fun explorations in our own city and cruising the world on the web we've discovered that paradise is just about anywhere we can touch the fruits of the earth.

We invite you to hit on us each month as we take a flying look at our world to discover what it means to be Vegetarians in Paradise.
