This is kind of neat. I just had dinner at a restaurant on U Street in Washington, DC called Coppi's Organic. It's an Italian restaurant that uses only organic ingredients from local farmers. Neat!
While they didn't have much (if anything) on the menu that was already vegan, it was easy enough to customize. We got a half-order of Gnocchi Primaverili with no bacon. I think there may have been a little bit of parmesan on it, but it could also have been garlic. I'm not quite sure. Either way, it was delicious. The flavors of all those vegetables together made a wonderful sauce. We also ordered a large Melanzane pizza, hold the cheese. The crust was nice and soft, and I am now very much in favor of pizzas with eggplant.
Just wanted to share that. Your average restaurant isn't all-organic, let alone all-local.
I tried not eating meat once, and got a serious migrain after a few days. After eating a big juicy burger the pain went away. Hum, a protein problem. With a very high metabolism rate, I wonder how many beans I would have to eat to ditch the red meat - PuuWoo:)
ReplyDeleteYou sure it was protein and not iron? Iron helps your blood hold oxygen, and I could see where low-oxygen would give you a headache.

It is an all organic, all vegan cafe and store.
BTW, I think I originally posted this comment on the wrong entry, the one titled "Monsanto Math."
OOPS!
