SIGN-UP FOR DAILY TIPS

If 10,000 LA meat-eating Biters eat a vegan meal just once a week, we'll avert the CO2 caused by lighting 42 houses that week.

More than 1,000 people entered the 2008 Sexiest Vegetarian Next Door contest (there's still time to cast your vote).

Things That Make You Go Mmm

The Bite

Worried the fare at your Oscars party might make your friends go "Hmm?" (We're no Alton Brown ourselves.) Get M Café to cater, and pick up a few plates of delish modern takes on macrobiotic cuisine, made fresh daily with no refined sugars, eggs, dairy, red meat, or poultry, using seasonal and organic foods whenever possible. We stocked up on the Madras Tempeh Wraps - masala tempeh (tofu's firmer cousin) dressed in curried soy yogurt, then wrapped in lavash. Add a few salad bar sides like kale or quinoa, and some desserts (banana millefeuille for sure), and your guests will have plenty of things to make them go "Mmm."

Wanna Try

M Café, 7119 Melrose Ave. at La Brea Ave. (323-525-0588). Madras Tempeh Wrap, $10.25.
