I recently began dating a wonderful person who happened to be a vegan. As a regular meat eater, even though I have cut down my meat intake by more than fifty percent, I didn't blink for a minute at having to eat at Vegan-friendly establishments with my partner. As our romance continues to blossom, my partner has recently been diagnosed with Celiac disease; like any concerned partner, i quickly noticed that the real world (read Whole Foods WFMI) takes gluten free and vegan diets very seriously.
I frequently go to Whole Foods, even though it is more expensive than other grocery competitors, to buy produce and almond milk. I myself have a dairy intolerance that requires me to have non- dairy milk with my cereal. I cant help but notice the extensive gluten-free and vegan alternatives that are offered at this store.
Furthermore, the ample amounts of gluten free options at two of my favorite vegan Los Angeles restaurants, Native Foods and Real Food Daily make dining out with my very significant other easy and delicious. I have totally embraced the restricted diet lifestyle myself, and do not experience any hindrances in my day to day life. So much so, that I am always seeking out gluten-free, vegan options and having nothing but good things to say about these products!
Sadly, my dairy intolerance is not as widely accepted in the yogurt world. Not that I was a huge fro yo consumer, but I definitely enjoyed my fair share of the delicious treat. The only non dairy fro yo that I have found is at Big Chill on Westwood and Olympic in Los Angeles. There hasn't even been an "adjustment" phase for me to be tolerant of my VGFGF because in addition to my love for vegan food, my partner is more than a pleasure to be with.
