LEWISTON, Maine — On a main drag dotted with fast food joints, a new church-run restaurant is breaking the mold: It offers vegan fare as a healthy alternative in a low-income neighborhood.

But for Seventh-day Adventists, who opened The Ark in a former Pizza Hut earlier this year, the project is no first. Adventists established meatless restaurants as early as the late 19th century in a bid to encourage healthy living.

2. The Almond Garden sounds good -

and the Little Lad popcorn? I just discovered that in a health food store here - Garlic But-tah is addictive!

3. I was in an Adventist hospital & really good food choices were available

A fantastic mushroom souffle still stands out
yes I am raving about hospital food
Studies show they live longer
