The VegeTarian guide To Los angeLesAs 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?

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.

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.

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!

Warmly,

Jaya Bhumitra, Campaigns DirectorCompassion Over Killing

When Compassion Over Killing investigators found her at an egg factory farm, one of her wings was pinned in the wires of her cage. Painfully thin and dehydrated, she had struggled so violently to free herself that her wing dislocated and her tendons ripped. We rescued Jane, and after having her wing amputated, she then enjoyed the rest of her life in freedom at a sanctuary where she basked in the sun, scratched the earth, and ate her favorite snack—green grapes.

Nearly 300 million egg-laying hens are suffering in wire “battery” cages in the US. Visit TryVeg.com to learn more and to discover delicious egg-free recipes.

The hard-boiled truth about eggs. Meet Jane.

William and Harry were inside a truck with nearly 100 other 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 LA-area 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.

Check out TryVeg.com for more information about the dairy and veal industries, and how you can make a difference for animals.

Moo-ve over dairy and beef. Meet William and harry.

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.

This little piggy didn’t go to market. Meet Jimmy da snout.
