BESTIE’s Vegan Paradise Grocery (Los Angeles)
If you’re feeling discouraged at all the big supermarkets selling animal products, take heart. There are only a few at present, but the world does indeed have a few all-vegan supermarkets! Let’s take a look, for inspiration.
Bestie’s Vegan Paradise is a female-owned store that is popular with many local runners, who help to promote it! It again has oodles of fresh produce and vegan grocery brands, along with a dairy-free soft-serve machine for ice-cream on hot days.
Every brand is from indie companies and nothing is tested on animals (nor do they sell any products from companies owned by parent companies that are not vegan or conduct animal testing).
Each dollar spent goes towards buying a vegan economy free from human and animal oppression, corporate profiteers, and those putting profit over people.
If buying plants or flowers, read up on pet-friendly gardens to know what to avoid. For tinned foods, rinse/remove lids (or pop ring-pulls over holes) then step on cans to pinch the inner rims together, to avoid wildlife getting trapped at recycling points.
