Or even better, say how your area is good for vegans because of a few lovely places, but that it could be even better and there's a huge market out there for animal-free food, from vegetarians, the dairy intolerant and major religions.

Press Release: Your-Town-Name restaurants – No Place to Eat

Your-Town-Name council is trying to change Your-Town-Name’s image as the place to party and get drunk but Your-Town-Name is no place to eat says Your-Name from Your-Town-Name.

Your-Town-Name based vegan Your-Name admits most chef’s find him hard to please, but he claims what he wants is very easy to provide.

He/She maintains that these days the mark of a really good restaurant is the quality and value for money of it’s vegetarian dishes.

Apparently these days with growing concerns about the environment and health more and more people are adopting a vegan lifestyle. Your-Name says restaurants are unlikely to get a group of friends or work colleagues with at least one or two vegetarians. “If restaurants are not getting these groups that’s because their menus are so bad that the groups are looking elsewhere” he warns. “It is simply bad customer service for a pro vegetarian customer to have to begrudgingly choose the fish dish because the vegetarian/vegan option is either such bad value for money, too boring or too laden with cheese and saturated animal fat to be healthy”

Your-Name claims an online survey on www.worldveganday.org revealed that the stumbling block for many people eating more vegan choices is the poor choice when eating out. He says “You can pay the same price as a steak for nothing more than a plate of frozen peas, sweet-corn and carrots in a tomato or cheese sauce. Indian and Chinese restaurants have the best options.”

Your-Name maintains that recent restaurant trade statistics speak for themselves and Restaurants only have themselves to blame for the increase in SHEF (Stay at Home Entertain Friends) consumers and the short life span of so many restaurants.
