- A cause that I care about sharing on Google Maps is vegetarianism!
Living in a progressive city such as Philadelphia, it's easy to find vegetarian and vegan food options! However there are still several occasions where I wind up somewhere who's only vegetarian options are either a salad or mozzarella sticks, or something along those lines.
Americans have often felt the need to implement meat in every meal otherwise it's not "real," or "satisfying," or fulfilling, and a lot of places cater to that need. However, more and more people are wanting to contribute to a healthy environment and also want a healthy diet for themselves. Gradually more people are eating vegan and vegetarian.
On Google Maps and as a Local Guide, I can guide other vegetarians towards the best places to eat! I love doing this here in Philly and even when I'm travelling. I love contributing and helping my community by reviewing places that are and aren't vegetarian & vegan friendly. I love trying new places but there are times when a place I try is just not a good experience because of their lack of vegetarian options. I want to help someone else avoid or prepare for this same experience.
I'm not one of those people who can't be around meat or people who eat it! I will not judge you or ridicule you for your choice of diet. 🙂 But I am very passionate about my choice and I want to contribute as best I can to my vegetarian community!
Another goal in my reviews is that the businesses will notice who is visiting their establishments and they will want to evolve with their customers. I love that Google Maps provides a way for local guides to connect with business owners and other Google Maps users and I love doing this concerning vegan and vegetarian friendliness.
