Jacksonville, Florida. – To celebrate the beginning of fall, PETA searched the country for the best and heartiest vegan chili dishes, and House of Leaf & Bean made it to the list with its Vegan Chili Bowl, a protein-based blend of beans and vegetables. topped with freshly cooked tofu and served with spicy rice.
“Vegan chili peppers are the perfect comfort food, and they are rooted in the comforting thought that no animals were harmed in the making,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “PETA honors House of Leaf & Bean for helping people eat their favorite foods without cruelty and cholesterol.”
PETA notes that sales of vegan meat in 2020 are up 148% from the previous year, and that 47% of Americans will want to include more vegan foods in their diets in 2021.
Other winners include Plant Bae of Montgomery, Alabama; Arles & Boggs Vegan Diner in Wallingford, Connecticut; Social Vegan in Lexington, Kentucky; The Grit in Athens, Georgia; and Ben’s Chili Bowl in Washington DC. Each establishment will receive a framed certificate from PETA, which offers many vegan chili recipes on its website.
PETA, whose motto is in part that “animals are not ours to eat,” is opposed to specisism, a worldview focused on human excellence. For more information please visit PETA.org or subscribe to the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram…
