Another one of those questions I get is "Isn't it hard to go out with friends, to eat out?"
The answer is, sometimes. Are your friends the steak house, bbq and burger joint type? You might find that difficult. Especially since the longer you go without eating meat, the more nauseating the smell of it can become.
But, fear not, more and more places are getting wise and offering better options than just a salad.
It's even relatively easy to get vegetarian options on-the-go at several fast food places when you're in a hurry. Burger King has a veggie burger, Which Wich has a black bean patty sandwich, Taco Bell can make literally any item on their menu into a vegetarian option, even White Castle has vegan burgers.
I have Inari with me today, he had to get tested for Strep Throat. Negative, whooo! Fever and sore throat, not whoo.
But, because of our doctor visit we went to Whole Foods. If you give a kid free access to pick whatever they want at the salad bar, they tend to surprise you.
He heaped on the Garbanzo Beans, Sprouts and cukes.
I had a salad also, but went with some tofu apple curry over basmati rice as well. Talk about delicious, holy yum!
We picked up some tofurkey and veggie spring rolls for home, too!
So, ja! You can totally get great veggie and vegan food on the go. And if in doubt, you can use your old friend google to check out a menu ahead of time so you can plan your moves ahead of time. Then you don't have to worry about being "that guy".
Eat veggie, be happy!
