Vegan Options at Hershey Park in Pennsylvania
Oddly enough, it was 25 years ago at Hershey Park where I decided to stop eating meat. I remember standing in line and smelling the burgers, and when it came time to order, I ordered a salad. I was 13, and my family thought it was a phase, but I never looked back and have since gone vegan. Now, I'm planning a trip with my little family for the first time in 25 years and your blog posting on Hershey Park vegan options was incredibly helpful! Thank you!

Are You Seeing Empty Shelves at Whole Foods Stores?
The Vegetarian Resource Group posted the following question on its Facebook page:

"Have you seen shortages of products in your local Whole Foods?"

According to AOL, shelves at Whole Foods stores are often empty because of order-to-shelf, or OTS, which is a tightly controlled system designed to streamline and track product purchases, displays, storage, and sales.

These are some of the responses we received:

  • It's been really hard to get Tofurky "turkey" deli slices at Whole Foods lately.
  • I'm noticing this [empty shelves] all the time, and it's very frustrating.
  • Yes, I have. Especially with vegan yogurts and produce. It happens a lot.
