When we put food in our stomach, we have a choice, to hurt or help our body. Why not make the next meal a healthy one? Yes, there are many restaurants to enjoy in Corvallis, but few that offer a nutritional menu that leaves us wanting more. There is a hidden restaurant behind Circle K a convenience store on Monroe Avenue that looks more like a house or community center than a restaurant. Located at 109 N.W. 15th Street is a wonderful place to eat called Nearly Normal’s. This is one of the finest choices to purchase a meal in Corvallis. We will examine the experience at this vegetarian restaurant focusing on the style of atmosphere, service, food quality and cleanliness. Nearly Normal’s is a vegetarian restaurant established in 1979, co-owned …show more content…
The method of allowing the customer to request food before being seated, expedites the food to the customer’s stomach. No more being seated, than waiting twenty minutes for a server to up sale us an appetizer. By not having a server allows private dining and avoids any interruptions. The lack of interruptions provides a great place to have a conversation with someone that may require more privacy than other establishments provide. Behind the counter is an employee that serves as the bartender, waiter and sometimes cooks the …show more content…
I prefer the upstairs seating due to the two tables perfect for an intimate eating experience with a loved one. My favorite of the two is the booth that faces a support beam, it separates the customers from the rest of the upstairs patrons. The other table has one long bench made from a single tree and faces the customers toward a window. The menu is full of imaginative vegetarian dishes with creative names such as Oh My Gado Gado or the Nearly Nasty Burrito. Their burrito is made delicious without meat with just beans and a shell by adding a few peppers and some spices. They often have a daily special that actually changes each day, adding true variety to their menu. Large selections of beverages are available. Orange or grapefruit juice is freshly squeezed directly upon order. A customer favorite is the Chilly Willy, an icy blend of lemonade and fruit smoothie. No concentrates or processed juices, remove the unneeded added sugars. Cocktails such as margaritas are available, removing the need to drift into a nearby dance club to take the edge off of the day’s stresses. If the cost of eating out is a concern, a daily discounted entrée is available for fewer than five dollars. None of the dinner plates cost over $10.75. I make a habit of dining at Nearly Normal’s on Mondays to enjoy the $5 Nearly Nasty Burrito, saving

The warming atmosphere is one of a kind. Behind the counter are the caring faces of not just a worker, but a friend. Regular guests are called by name, sharing stories of families and the past week with the welcoming employees. Sitting all around in tables and booths are patrons from every category.

The term vegan, devised in 1944 via Donald Watson, is referred to as an individual that follows veganism, which is the exclusion of all animal products to be consumed, predominantly in their diet (Kahn, 2011). Veganism is primarily supported due to preventing animal cruelty, as well as its health benefits and environmental consequences (Craig, 2009). Adolescence is referred to as the transition from childhood to adulthood, due to biological changes that occur via the onset of puberty (Ellis, 2004). Essential nutrients that are vital to be consumed during adolescence are proteins, which are in the category of macronutrients as they are required in large amounts, as well as calcium and iron, which are categorised as micronutrients, thus being required in smaller amounts (Bialostosky, Wright, Kennedy-Stephenson, McDowell & Johnson, 2002). Protein, calcium and iron are claimed to be essential nutrients in an adolescent female following a vegan diet as they are at higher risk to be lacked via plant-based sources if the consumption of these nutrients are inadequate, which may implicate negative effects on the growth and development during the pubertal growth spurt (Craig, 2009; Ilich-Ernst et al., 1998). This essay will be regarding to a 14 year old female named Jenny Brown, whom is currently following a vegan diet and is not consuming any supplementation in order to obtain adequate nutrition. As Jenny Brown is at the age of adolescence, this essay will discuss the biological changes that occur during puberty, followed on by a discussion on each of the vital nutrients including the macronutrient protein, as well as the micronutrients calcium and iron that are essential to be adequately consumed in order to attain nutritional competence ...
There's little doubt that the Earth is in a crisis. The human population is hungrily burning through its resources while simultaneously destroying its ecological balance. While catastrophe seems imminent, there is one small change each person could make in life that would lessen the devestating impact and minimalize our ecological footprint: Veganism.
While plant-based diet have been around for decades, veganism did not make headlines until the late 1990’s. ‘Vegetarian’ first appears in a title of an article on September 16th, 1852, five years after the Vegetarian Society was formed (Vegetarian Society). Although veganism has clearly risen in popularity in the 21st century, it can not be concluded that American’s view plant-based eating positively. Multiple articles have been published bashing the lifestyle. ‘Vegan’ first appeared in a title of an article on December 6th, 1998, fifty-four years after the first vegan society was formed (Vegan Society). The article was titled, “All Species Welcome At A Vegan Mixer.” The author wrote about veganism as a foreign idea and made jokes on vegan’s behalf. The second time veganism appeared in the New York Times was in December of the same year. The article exposed a vegan eco-terrorist group, giving all vegans a bad reputation. Two years later, on February 1st, 2000,

Human bodies are genetically created to consume animal-produced products and without it the body doesn’t get what it needs to function. Humans started as vegans until sin came into the world which is when a life had to die for another life to survive. The body of a human needs each nutrient to be able to operate the way it was constructed to. Without those nutrients the body will start to devour its self to try to provide what it requires to function, and when the stomach cannot make the nutrients it needs it will shut down. Veganism could be healthy for a while until the diet starts to have deficiency of nutrients. Not only would it start to be unhealthy for the body, but also would be unhealthy for the environment that humans live in. Many
Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O. And on that farm, he had cows, chickens, sheep, pigs, and everything else that he needed to run a livestock farm. Despite the average carnivorous diet, I believe that vegetarianism is the right approach in solving issues with our environment, such as global warming, habitat destruction and water conservation. Meat-eaters participate in the destruction of the earth, and I will prove that switching to vegetarianism and foregoing meat in the everyday diet, helps the environment in more ways than one. A vegetarian diet comes with several benefits, where land, air, and water can be preserved, while simultaneously slowing down the process of global warming.
“I always knew that becoming a vegetarian would help prevent cruelty to animals but I was not aware of the environmental consequences of a meat-eating diet.” writes Lillie Ogden, a writer for the popular recipe magazine, Vegetarian Times. The first part of her statement, about “cruelty to animals” is a familiar argument, and generally the one that surrounds the case for adopting a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. However, this exhausted argument is ineffective in actually changing anyone’s eating habits. You can show me as many videos of suffering farm animals as you want, but that argument isn’t going to change the fact that at the end of the day I’m still going to enjoy a juicy, medium-rare steak. The reason being isn’t that I’m not a empathetic person or that I
Food, an extremely important factor in the health of all living organisms. It gives our bodies nutrients and energy which allow us to continue on the journey of life. However, with the increase in population more and more food is needed to feed the human race, or is it? The weekday vegetarian diet is a relatively new idea that would help reduce land and resources needed for agriculture, reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as increasing the overall health of those participating. The research appears to be sound yet some are still skeptical with the idea. Throughout this reading, we’ll go through the environmental impacts, how to implement this practice, and the pros and cons.
In America, many are not aware of the inequalities that exist in the Food Service. The food service sector has at least 125,951 companies and approximately 12 million employees with almost 7 million foreigners. This sector includes individually owned restaurants, mid-priced chains, quick service (fast food), hotels, and beverage establishments. Food service plays a major role in institutional establishments like schools, hospitals, prisons and meals on wheels. They cater to the tastes of their particular customers and are often leaders of food innovation. In the food service, we find: bartenders, wait staff, hosts, busboys, chefs, cooks, managers, and dishwashers .The food service workers perform a variety of customer service, food preparation and cleaning tasks, all that which are very important to keep a business running. More concerning , some of the major working conditions that foodservice workers face with daily is no health benefits and significantly low wages. These employees working in the food industry make it possible for millions of people to enjoy food in restaurants but are not being treated or appreciated fairly.
