Eco-Bean to Launch Vegan Brunch

On Sunday, December 9 beginning at 10 a.m., Eco-Bean will try out a new bi-weekly event called V.E.G., which is short for Vegan Eatin' Gathering.

Every other Sunday, Gen Suorenej of Genzendental Productions will join Eco-Bean owner, Rachel Gause in educating patrons on the benefits of keeping up with a healthy diet.

In a recent email to possible attendees, Suorenej wrote, "more and more these days we hear that what we thought was good for us to eat has actually been the cause of many diseases."

Suorenej went on to explain that the foods most of us were raised on aren't necessarily the most healthy options.

Although the duo acknowledged the idea that eating raw and organic can be difficult and costly, they are prepared to start newbies off simple.

The Sunday workshops will include a vegan meal preparation demonstration. Patrons will also receive a copy of the day's recipe(s), instructions and an ingredient list that can be purchased at a suggested local company.

Lasting from 10 a.m. until noon, the event costs $7 at the door, which includes the food products used to create the meal. 

The best part? After the cooking demonstration and workshop, patrons can indulge in a guilt-free Sunday brunch.
