foods of the month:

BAO Raw Slaw Green - delious aftertaste... what a great idea; ferement veggies including kale. It's a little pricy, about ten bucks a jar, but SO healthy, it's worth it. where to find

Thunderbird Eenergetica bars - I like everything about this company. The Cacao Hemp Walnut bar is very good. I think it really does give more energy than the typical bar.

microgreens (like sprouts, but grown in soil) from New Day Farms - look for them at the Falls Church Farmer's Market about microgreens study by UMD

Restaurants:

Many restaurants offer a discount to Vegetarian Society of the District of Columbia members. This membership can save you a ton of money on all sorts of discounts, including travel, smoothies, yoga classes, skin care products and cooking classes.

When you travel, be sure to look for Loving Hut restaurants. These are a chain of vegan restaurants. By supporting them, you can help create a future with healthy veggie restaurants everywhere.

Pangea Vegan Products in Rockville has a great selection of products, especially alternatives to leather clothing. Please note that their retail store is just open on weekends, but you can order online anytime.

Potomac Adventist Book and Health Food Store is a good place to shop for food if you prefer to shop in a store where all the food is vegetarian. Adventists celebrate the Sabbath on Saturday, so the store is closed on Saturdays, but open on Sundays.

Dr. Gabriel Cousens recommends carnosine for vegetarians and vegans. In fact, he says even meat eaters are usually deficient in it. The one he likes is Carnosine from Quantum Nutrition Labs. It's a powder, so it's good to mix into smoothies.
