It looks like Chicago is a good place for healthy plant-eaters to unite. Chicago Sun-Times reported today that Meetup, an online networking service, has ranked “The Windy City” as the third-friendliest city for vegans and vegetarians. This was thanks to the ChicagoVeg group being named as the third-largest Meetup group in the world for vegetarians and vegans. This marks the first time Chicago beat out Los Angeles, which took fourth place this year.
What was number #1? New York tops the Meetup list with over 13,000 members in its group, followed by London with 7,600 members. ChicagoVeg, also called Chicagoland Vegetarian, Vegan, & Raw Foodist Community, celebrated the title by whipping up all of their best vegan recipes for a potluck in Uptown last month.
