The Loving Hut, a Vegan restaurant located in Ledgewood, NJ is offering a 10% discount to SCCC students who present their school IDs.

   The Loving Hut is an international chain, with each location having a unique menu and atmosphere.  All the food served at Loving Hut locations is Vegan (meaning it is strictly Vegetarian, containing no animal-derived ingredients).

   Some people (like myself) have chosen Veganism for moral reasons, as it saves the lives of animals and makes an exponential difference.  Others choose Veganism for environmental reasons, or health reasons (it has been proven that meat can cause heart problems, obesity, and even cancer [a Vegan diet contains no cholesterol and is without many of the other dangerous things found in animal-based products]), and some choose Veganism for purity or religion.

   Not everyone who eats at the Loving Hut is a Vegan, but it is a great place for those who are, and for those who want to enjoy good food that won’t weigh on their conscience.

   The Ledgewood Loving Hut has a mostly Asian-based menu, but includes a variety of other things, including a popular “children’s menu” with things like Vegan “mac-n-cheese”.  It, also, has a much-requested banana-berry smoothie, as well as an array of interesting and popular entrees and appetizers.

   The staff of The Loving Hut is friendly and compassionate, and accommodates special requests with ease.

   Hero Zhou, one of the managers of The Loving Hut was a student at Sussex County Community College last year, and has agreed to offer a discount to SCCC students.

   It is a lovely place to go, has affordable food, pleasant service, and is one of the few Vegan establishments in the area (though the number is growing, with a variety of compassionate businesses emerging throughout the state, country, and world).

   So, whether you are a Vegetarian or Vegan, or not, The Loving Hut is a great place to go, where you can get good food, and engage in compassionate action.  Veganism is a wonderful, life-saving thing, and is a much easier lifestyle to adopt than some might think.  Whatever your story, stop in the Loving Hut, and enjoy a suffering-free meal, today.

   While recycling a bottle, reducing your energy consumption, or riding a bike to work is a good way to help the Earth, there’s something that you can do to make a much greater difference.

   In addition to being an incredibly healthy lifestyle, and saving the lives of numerous animals, adopting a Vegetarian or Vegan (Vegetarian who consumes nothing animal-derived) lifestyle makes a large global impact.  So, by going Vegan, you can help the Earth, the animals, and yourself.

   In addition to greatly reducing the risk of heart attack, other serious health conditions, and even some forms of cancer, a Vegan diet is cholesterol-free and generally low in fat.   Going Vegan leads to a healthier and more fit body, and has even been said by many to improve their energy levels and how they feel.

   It has been estimated that by going Vegetarian or Vegan, a person can save the lives of an average of 95 animals per year!  And, it is not a difficult thing to do.  There is a wide array of Vegan food out there (including some faux ‘meat’ products that have been said to taste quite authentic), and contrary to what some may think, it’s not a diet of green wheatgrass smoothies.  There’s everything from Vegan sweets, to health bars, to Vegan cheese.  There’s something out there for everyone–And no one has to get hurt.

   So, this Earth Day, (and every day), think about the impact that you make, and how you can make a positive difference for this planet and its inhabitants.  There is a plethora of helpful information online for making the transition to Veganism (including a great deal of amazing recipes).  Becoming a Vegetarian, or a Vegan, is an easy thing that you can do, that can make a world of difference.  Celebrate Earth Day by celebrating life…Go Vegan, and help save the world!
