Glendora had a Reuben and a pumpkin S’more. Madeline has a breakfast sandwich – vegan cheese, bacon and eggs. Maxine had a sunflower burger. Liveliness and ambience abounded.

Vegans reject the use of all animal products in food, clothing and commodities and all other forms of cruelty to the animal kingdom insofar as possible. This includes research, medicine, sport and entertainment.” The Glendora Vegan commercials to help the animals are on the Channel 6 6:30 p.m. news, Monday through Friday the week of Octobe
