sunshine_veg's Journal

We all know Portland is chock full of vegetarians, vegans, and all those in between. We know tons of veg*ns live in New York and San Francisco. Let's show 'em what Florida's got!

This community is for:
- rants about being veg in FL
- local veg-friendly restaurants/groceries/stores
- veg*n events in your neighborhood including but not limited to potlucks, FNBs, lectures, festivals,
- new veg*n communities (promotions are ONLY allowed if they are veg*n related, especially if they are Florida Veg related)
- questions about being veg in FL
- finding new veg-friends in your area
- links to FL veg*n blogs/websites


This community is NOT for:
- animosity towards ANYONE
- spam (anything NOT relating to the FL veg community)
- fighting (goes in hand w/ animosity)


Please be courteous in your posts and respectful of each other. Any sign of negativity and you will be BANNED (I am tired of hearing so much negativity in other vegan communities... going veg is about HELPING each other and the earth and advising people to make better choices, not to judge or mock). I want this to be an enjoyable community for the vegan of 30 years as well as for the omni who just discovered vegetarianism and has questions about going further in to veganism.

I hope you enjoy your stay at the sunshine_veg community! Please introduce yourself when you join and be active so that we can make this community great!! :)

Quick info on your mod: I'm a long time vegetarian going vegan living in South Florida in dire need of contact with other like-minded (not to mention OPEN minded) veg*n individuals (veg*n, for those who are new to the veg-community, means anyone who is vegan or vegetarian). I'm starting this community in hopes of lending support to all the others in the Florida (especially South Florida) region who are trying to or are already veg*n. Spread the word!!
