HappyCow
HappyCow is an online service that lists sources of vegan, vegetarian and healthy food. Background and content HappyCow was founded in 1999 as a world guide to vegetarian and vegan restaurants. The crowd-sourced site contains listings of over 50,000 businesses in 180 countries and more than 140,000 reviews. Restaurants are categorised as either vegan, vegetarian, or veg-friendly. The initial definition for veg-friendly was based on a minimum menu content being at least 60% vegetarian. This has since been modified into a more flexible set of guidelines based on the alternative availability of vegan food in the area. HappyCow's orientation has gravitated to be increasingly pro-vegan. Other listings include health food shops, juice bars, vegan friendly accommodation, social and activity groups, catering operations and other entities with consideration for animal compassion. The website has forum and blog sections. The HappyCow YouTube channel was launched in 2012. Financing Income ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
