Full-page ads in VegNews (July-August ’18): Eden Foods, Dried Mushrooms: Maitake and Shiitake. These mushrooms “offer valuable polysaccharides, especially beta-glucan” and are “very rare sources of vegetable vitamin D as ergosterol, the reliable vitamin D2 precursor.” “Veestro, gourmet plant-based meals delivered.” “Organic and preservative-free.” Won a VegNews 2017 Veggie Award. Etc.
Editorial on LOS ANGELES, “the epicenter of the plant-based lifestyle.” VegNews name LA “the #1 vegan city in America.” And the city is featured in an article by Chris Miller & Kristy Turner. “Made in LA.” But Miami, Baltimore, and Vienna! And other cities are praised too. An article on dairy milk, “Dairy Downfall” recounts how vegan options are dethroning dairy. An article on vegan weddings! Or throw a vegan summer bash. Also a page on “Get Digital,” vegan happenings in social media. And a page on books; e.g. “The Plantpower Way: Italia” I have just now told you about 5% of this rich publication on the enjoyment of plant-based food.
