Questlove

Questlove‘s catering options have sure taken a different turn.

The musician told Billboard about what used to be on the menu in the early days when The Roots toured.

“The first people we ever toured with were the Beastie Boys…at the time half our band was vegan, the other half was vegetarian, some just omnivores. It was very weird to every day see a display with Cocoa Puffs and fake turkey and fake ham and seafood, specialty free range products and Whole Foods crates. Caterers would look at us like we were crazy.”

The Roots

Whoever said beggars can’t be choosers obviously never encountered a vegan who asked for a piece of bread with dairy-free butter.

Questlove, musician with The Roots, Tweeted about his recent experience attempting to appease a homeless man who asked for a bite to eat.

“Um Homeless w/ dietary preferences? dude outside starbucks asked for $, I got him coffee & sandwich. He says “I’m vegetarian.””

Hey, just because you’re short on change doesn’t mean you’re short on principle or taste, right? Who’s says hard times means eating food hard on your body, animals and earth?

Food pantries often stock veg-friendly shelf-stable foods like beans, legumes and pasta and sauces. Some religious groups that advocate vegetarian diets, like the Seventh Day Adventists, will often have faux meats and soy products available at food banks they run from their churches.

Tzu Chi, a food pantry located in Cedar Grove, New Jersey, only stocks vegetarian items in accordance with its earth-friendly principles of reducing planet waste and conserving the environment.
