Sartis Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Been Vegetarian for about 3 years now, Vegan for 2. So I moved from Dallas TX to Melbourne FL for work. Luckily there are quite a few people here who are into health & fitness and I have a great trail running park around the corner. Problem is I can't seem to find one vegan restaurant. There was a vegan restaurant in Fort Worth! Why can't I find one in FL? I love all you vegans. Look forward to chatting more, and getting advice on pumping up my muscles with some yummy tempeh.

robert Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Welcome James! We have another forum member in Melbourne too! Tigress is there I believe. She just got married so she hasn't been on the forum lately but last I heard, she was living there. Is that anywhere near Orlando? (I'm 3,000 miles away so I don't know the state very well even though I've visited many times). There is a Central Florida Vegetarian Festival coming up that will take place in Orlando on October 27th. Hopefully I'll be there. Thanks for joining our forum. Great to have you here! All the best and welcome aboard! P.S. nice pic in front of Food Fight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sartis Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 Thanks all. Yes, the pic is in front of Food Fight. I love Portland. You Vegans are all spoiled in Portland... Melbourne is SE of Orlando about 45 minutes away, on the Atlantic coast. It's gorgeous here and it seems that people are very health conscious, but I can't find much support for veganism in restaurants. There are a few health food markets around but sometimes you don't feel like cooking! In Dallas I was part of ACT (Animal Connection Texas), an animal rights nonprofit. Just started working out about two months ago. Honestly, the only reason I'm working out is to be able to show the general mis-informed public that veg*ans aren't just pale, frail, and weak individuals, and we get plenty of protein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotus Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Welcome to the forum! Why did you move to Fla? If you feel like travelling a little, Gainesville is a cool town, pretty vegan friendly. Also, if you get the chance to try boiled peanuts you should to it! The garlic ones are almost always vegan, but ya gotta ask about the cajun ones to be sure...I love boiled peanuts!
