What comes to mind when you think of a Vegetarian? Do you think of someone who eats salads all day? Do you think of someone who protests all day on the slaughtering of animals?

Did you know that some people are vegetarian due to dietary problems? As we get older, sometimes our body has a hard time digesting meat. I'm not a vegetarian,I think that meat is an important part of our diet. So why I promote a vegetarian diet? It's a good diet. Vegetarians if they follow the diet, they get plenty of vitamins, protein and fiber.

This type of diet is getting more and more popular, which is mostly in part of PETA and PETA 2 (People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals). I am a member of PETA, but not because I think we should all be vegetarians, but because I am against animal cruelty.

At my restaurant, Love Your Heart, I serve foods for vegetarians. Also, I serve regular meats, and foods, as well as foods for diabetics, gluten-free, and lactose intolerant.
I believe in portion control, and using as much as fresh fruit and veggies as possible, whenever we can. Did you know there is another way of making sausage gravy other than using the grease from the sausage and you can't tell the difference.

There is no way, I could ever go with my two weaknesses.... Pasta and Steak. I just eat them in moderation. So until you try a healthier diet, don't put other people down because of it, they may have no choice, it would be no different from someone telling a lactose-intolerant person that they are stupid for not wanting to drink milk, they may have no choice but to drink soy or almond milk.

If you want to sample healthier food, come on in and we will take care of you.
