We would always go after yoga teacher training, given that many of the students were vegetarians. I have yet to try M Cafe de Chaya but have been meaning to get to Culver City to visit the new location. I have eaten at Real Food Daily in Santa Monica for years.

But I'm definitely curious about Madeline's concept of French-vegetarian . . . if I ever hit that part of LA, I'll likely check it out.

I like the idea of thinking of a vegetarian meal like just one more ethnic cuisine to add to the mix. According to New Scientist mag, one kilogram of beef is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than driving for three hours with the lights on back at home: http://environment.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=mg19526134.500 I'm not planning to give up meat, but with food costs going up and global warming such a huge issue, it makes sense to eat more veggie meals. On the other hand, I noticed this sentence at the end of the article: "A Swedish study in 2003 suggested that organic beef, raised on grass rather than concentrated feed, emits 40 per cent less greenhouse gases and consumes 85 per cent less energy."

In the meantime, where can I get a good STEAK tartar. I'm not that big on beets!
