As the demand for vegetarian options continues to rise, a growing
number of grocers and restaurants—from fast food to four-star—are
dishing out delicious, animal-free fare.
Why are so many people choosing vegetarian foods?
South Bay

Gina Lee’s Bistro
For better health. According to the American Dietetic Association,
vegetarians are reported to have lower rates of heart disease and
obesity, as well as lower cholesterol and blood pressure, than
non-vegetarians. Type II diabetes can also be prevented, and in some
cases reversed, with a plant-based diet.
211 Palos Verdes Blvd. • Redondo Beach
310-375-4462 • GinaLeesBistro.blogspot.com
Upscale Asian-fusion restaurant with a separate
vegetarian menu featuring many vegan options and
a chocolate sorbet that tastes just like gelato.
For the planet. Animal agriculture is a leading cause of biodiversity
loss, resource depletion, pollution, and global warming, and
according to a United Nations report, generates 18% of all global
human-induced greenhouse gas emissions.
The Green Temple
For the animals. Nine billion land animals are raised and killed for
food each year in the United States. With virtually no laws to protect
them, birds, pigs, and cows on factory farms are routinely treated
in ways that would result in legal prosecution if those same abuses
were inflicted upon the cats and dogs with whom we share our
homes. By choosing vegetarian foods, we can stand up for animals
each time we sit down to eat.
Whatever the reason you’re exploring vegetarian eating, we
hope you’ll find this edition of our guide useful and your dining
experiences delightful. It’s never been easier to savor vegetarian
cuisine in the City of Angels!

This little piggy didn’t go to market. Meet Jimmy da Snout.
Jimmy was born with rhinitis, a disease which deforms
pig’s snouts. On modern-day factory farms, tens of
thousands of pigs are crammed into large buildings without
adequate ventilation. Respiratory illnesses are common,
and thousands of sickly piglets die every year before even
reaching “slaughter weight” when they are just six months
old. Typically, sick and deformed pigs are killed by the
farmers, but Jimmy managed to escape this cruel fate and
found his way to Farm Sanctuary’s LA-area Animal Acres.
Jimmy da Snout charms all the sanctuary visitors with
his gentle and friendly personality, and loves to receive
belly rubs and bananas! Visit Jimmy today – go to
FarmSanctuary.org for details.
Check out TryVeg.com for more information about the pig
industry, and how you can make a difference for animals.

Give thanks for turkeys. Meet Brando.
Shortly before Thanksgiving, Brando and 24 other baby turkeys
were left on the doorstep of Farm Sanctuary’s LA-area Animal
Acres. They were dirty, weak, debeaked, and some also had
the tips of their toes cut off, indications that they came from a
factory farm. Debeaking is a standard industry practice in which
the tip of the bird’s sensitive, nerve-filled beak is removed with
either a hot blade or by microwave; both procedures are performed on the baby birds without anesthetic. While Brando had
a rough start, with the gentle care and love of the shelter staff
he improved daily and is now enjoying life at the sanctuary. Visit
Brando today – go to FarmSanctuary.org for details.
Check out TryVeg.com for more information about the turkey
industry and how you can make a difference for animals.

calves headed to be sold for veal or cheap beef. Sickly and
weak like many dairy industry calves, the two were emaciated,
hypothermic, and suffering from diarrhea so severe that they
were seriously dehydrated. Their bones bulged beneath their
flesh. Harry was so terrified of humans that he began shivering
whenever anyone came near. Now at Farm Sanctuary’s LAarea Animal Acres, these two young calves are healing and
growing by leaps and bounds. With the help of the shelter staff, they are also learning to trust
and experiencing something almost no dairy calf ever does: peace. Visit William and Harry
today – go to FarmSanctuary.org for details.

can make a difference for animals.
