Forbes is an American business magazine owned by Forbes, Inc, based in New York. The magazine is published fortnightly and it features original articles on finance, industry, investing, and marketing topics. Last year Forbes named “High End Vegan Cruisine” at the top of the list for Food Trends in 2013.

This is an amazing breakthrough for vegetarians. It shows that more and more people are turning to a plant based diet and rejecting meat altogether.   Although many people are still turning to vegetarianism for compassionate reasons, the new wave of vegetarianism is more about health than animal welfare.If you type high end vegan into your google search bar for images, you’ll find the most amazing dishes. These healthy, gourmet options will cater for those who are used to fine dining. I have to admit that up until now, most vegetarian restaurants are really cafes. They tend to lack ambience, the food is basic and the atmosphere can’t compare to top end restaurants.

Hallelujah, finally it looks like things are changing. Those who are used to frequenting gourmet restaurants now have the option of a number of gourmet vegan options. This will make the change easier for those who are used to fine dining.

This high end vegan trend started in America where vegan chefs were asked to cater for large events held by celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey. People were so impressed by the food, that high end vegan restaurants began to pop up all over New York and I’m sure that this trend will spread throughout the world in no time.

While health is an important factor to take into consideration, the healthiest option is to take an holistic approach and adopt a lifestyle which is not only healthy for the body, but also healthy for the soul. Most of us tend to forget that we actually have inner spiritual needs and if these needs aren’t met we will have an inner emptiness. Let’s fill up that inner emptiness with Mantra Meditation. Just let these Mantras enter your ears and fill the soul.
