Sorry Apu, 7-Eleven More Veggie Friendly Than Kwik-E-Mart
Written by Vegetarian Star on January 13th, 2009 in Actors, Food & Drink, Pop Culture.
Apu, the Kwik-E-Mart owner on the Simpsons, may sell tofu dogs in his store, but it’s still not enough to get his shop put on the Proggy Awards list of best convenience stores by PETA that are vegetarian friendly.
7-Elevens in Philadelphia will satisfy all your gas station buffet desires with veggie sandwiches- seitan steak, falafel, faux chicken, and tofu-egg. The stores also offer a variety of salads.
“While it is increasingly simple to find vegetarian offerings at many stores and restaurants, 7-Eleven is making it even easier for conscientious consumers to grab a bite on the go,” stated on PETA’s website.
View the list for the rest of the winners in the awards, including congressman Dennis Kucinich.

Man, I wish the 7-Elevens in SoCal were like that. The only veggie items there are granola bars and Naked Juice. All the sandwiches, frozen foods and canned goods are so meaty.

I’m so jealous. Seitan sandwiches! Yum. They need to make those options available nationwide!
