Eating Out - Lack of Nutrients and Empty Calories

I never thought that I would feel this way about eating at home…I want to make so many things that I never knew existed or even found the least bit interesting.  I used to love going out to eat, but now I’ve completely lost the desire.  When you eat meat there are so many selections to choose from and each animal has its own category on the menu.  My favorite places to eat were Red Lobster and Olive Garden, but after discovering the benefits of a vegan lifestyle I no longer find that food attractive.  For a vegan…your options are very limited (to a restaurant). Even if they have a vegan menu or section in the back of mind I wonder what is the quality of the food…it’s most likely not going to be organic and it’s going to be about 1000 calories!!  Just knowing that organic foods have a much higher level of nutrients what’s the point of eating empty calories made out of who knows what, grown who knows where,  in who knows what type of soil and chemicals were used.
