Portland, Ore. -- The vegan food revolution has taken hold in every corner of America, and nowhere is that trend more evident (and delicious!) than at Portland's all-vegan, all–gluten-freeBack To Eden Bakery. That's why Back To Eden is in the running for a Libby Award in the category of Best Vegan Bakery from peta2, PETA's youth division. Now in their seventh year, the 2012 Libby Awards ("Libby" for "liberation," as in animal liberation) include 22 categories.
"More and more young people are insisting that the music they listen to, the clothes they wear, and, especially, the food they eat reflect their strong feelings in favor of animal rights," says PETA Youth Marketing Manager Emily Rodriguez. "All our nominees are winners because they're meeting the demands of compassionate kids and helping animals at the same time."
Back To Eden sources local and organic whenever possible. Among the bakery's many delights, peta2's favorites include the chocolate nut truffle, the coconut "cream" pie, and the rich and smooth dairy-free raw cheesecake. For breakfast, you can't go wrong with the muffins or coffee cake. Lunch specialties include a hearty quiche or cashew tart. Back To Eden even makes its own shakes, sundaes (in nearly a dozen varieties), and soft serve with more than 20 toppings and sauces to choose from.
Voting ends on December 17. Winners will be chosen by peta2 based on several factors, including vote count, and will be announced on December 19. See the full contest details here.
