Why I'm not blogging much right now...

This has occupied most of my time lately.
This and building a chicken coop, tending a garden, watching/judging indie film submissions, signing petitions, oh, and working (really, Boss, I am!)

Press release: For immediate release


New Service Makes It Easy For Restaurants to Capitalize On Vegetarian Market
Seattle company offers vegetarian consulting to traditional restaurants in order to increase their appeal to the vegetarian market

Bothell, WA, April 20, 2010 - Good Life Consulting is delighted to announce their vegetarian and vegan consulting services are now available to the food service industry. Restaurants, caterers and others will now be able to easily expand their market to attract the growing vegetarian crowd. Good Life Consulting assists restaurants in ensuring their existing meatless entrees are truly vegetarian and can offer expanded menu options. Many chefs and cooks are unaware of the hidden items in food that don’t meet vegetarian guidelines.
Until now many restaurants have not had a good resource to direct them in preparing tasty and true-vegetarian meals for their customers, leaving vegetarians dissatisfied and unlikely to return to the restaurant. In today’s economy restaurants need to look outside their traditional customer base in order to thrive.
“It’s really a win-win situation, both for the restaurant and for the vegetarian diner,” says owner and head consultant Karen Mallonée, “now the diner can be confident their food has been verified as vegetarian and the restaurant has just opened up their potential customer base by about 20%”.
Recent studies show the vegetarian population has grown over 25 % in the past five years and continues to expand. Additionally about 40% of diners are now choosing meatless meals more often and taking full advantage of “Meatless Mondays” offered at many restaurants.
Good Life Consulting initially offers these services in the Pacific Northwest with plans to expand nationwide as more consultants become trained.
