It's nice that it is at least a variant of a vegan diet that focuses quite heavily on unprocessed whole foods rather than things like fake meat. Maybe Chicago will catch up to NYC and SF in terms of having very good plant-based eateries? Or Rahm is just getting excited for this summer's Next menu?

However, having been vegan before, I will stick to eating a variety of foods in moderation as I have for the past couple of years, a diet that seems very unpopular with public figures speaking out about diet.
