Yeah, that was actually me he quoted and, coming from Los Angeles, I can tell you Boston has a long way to go. Visit Portland, OR, for an idea of what I think is possible here. I have sufficient stones, aging cynic, but this isn't about being courageous. It's about working in your sphere of influence to effect a positive change. Hopefully people in Omaha will work in their sphere of influence to make it a more vegan-friendly place. On that note, I have friends in Bakersfield and Fresno that are doing an awesome job of making their traditionally non-veg towns more vegan-friendly. We can all make a difference where we live, cynics or not.

Aging Cynic - You do have a good point, I'm sure Boston is light-years ahead of areas such as the Midwest when it comes to more eco-aware diets...though I must say, keeping a mostly vegan diet myself, Boston still has a long way to go.

"We are here to make Boston a more vegan-friendly place..." Talk about preaching to the choir. Show some stones and try the outreach in Omaha...
