Buddhist proverb These can be dangerous times for the body. Finals often leave University of Utah students with little extra time. In a frenzied rush, most people opt for a quick and often unhealthy fast food meal. The holidays present even more problems. Some look forward to spending their break gorging themselves on fatty, sticky sweet junk food. The result of these eating habits: lethargic and flabby bodies. There is, however, an alternative. Yes, that's right, health food! Some might say "I'm no hippie, no seeds and grass for me; I want red meat!" Well, forget the old stereotype of weird bistros filled with fingerpaintings and macrame; a natural approach to eating has moved into the mainstream. Some have changed for health reasons, others for ecological and spiritual reasons. Whatever the case, there are a number of businesses within a short distance of the U. which offer healthy fare. The Sun Bun Cafe is Salt Lake City's only 100 vegetarian restaurant. The interior is tastefully decorated. Wooden floors and trim set off walls that highlight paintings of wildlife scenes: eagles, trout, deer and so on. Sitting down in the comfortable setting, a visitor to the Sun Bun is in for quite an experience. The cafe's menu is simple, but filled with healthy choices. For lunch, a number of sandwiches are available. There is the Vegi ($2.95) with lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, sprouts, red onion, stone ground mustard and mayonnaise. Variations on the Vegi have cheese slices and even vegetarian bacon! Another lunch special is the Sun Burger ($4.50). Made from wheatmeat (a meat substitute of wheat protein and spices), it tastes every bit as good, or better, than Hyr f i in --mmmm hamburger. The Sun Bun also serves up a mean "no fishy business" brown rice sushi plate ($4.25). Organic brown rice and fresh vegetables, rolled in sheets of nori seaweed, with ginger and wasabi (a Japanese horseradish) accompanies soup or salad. The Sun Bun makes for an ideal dinner choice. Along with its soups and sandwiches, it has dinner specials like the weekly pasta ($5.95). The Health Macro plate ($5.95) features huge servings of black beans, cooked grains, steamed veggies in a pesto, peanut or tomato sauce. Topping this off with a cup of soup and slices of light wheat sourdough bread makes for a perfect apres ski meal. It fills one up without the effects of a few burgers. The Sun Bun is a cafe with a purpose. According to Barbara "Our world is Ferree, at a point where its not economical or energy efficient to keep producing huge amounts of meat." A statement of purpose is framed in the restaurant. Titled "Conscious Nourishment", it features cases for a healthy approach to food part-owne- r, production. "It takes 2,500 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef, yet it only takes 25 gallons of water for a pound of wheat." This is furthered by a few hefty quotes. "Animals are my friends. ..And I don't eat my friends," (George Bernard Shaw) and "It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living, by its purely physical effect on the human temperament, would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind." (Albert Einstein). "We would be a healthier society if we cut down on the amount of The two locations of the New Frontiers Market, for those interested in purchasing vegetarian cuisine. 2454 S. 700 East or 1026 E. Second Ave., are an option The bakery has a large selection of breads including sprouted whole wheat, molasses, oatbran and four grain whole wheat. Great Harvest bakers also make specialty items like meat we eat," Ferree said. Across the street from the Sun Bun is the Great Harvest Bakery. A healthy and easy way to eat is to onion-rye-di- and ll cinnamon breads, as well as a large variety of cookies and rolls. According to Victoria Vanchero, manager, "The wheat we use is organic. It's stone ground fresh every day. That's very important, once flour is ground it starts to lose nutrients. We grind it fresh and use raisin-waln- detrimental CHRONICLE PHOTOCamron Carpenter pick up a loaf of Great Harvest bread. ut it fresh." "Most of the breads don't have any oils or dairy products. The only ingredients in the wheat breads are wheat, water, yeast and salt. Then there are sunflower seeds and things like that." "There are about 120 calories in a slice of the bread, but those calories are complex carbohydrates and are broken down by the body easy. There are only trace amounts of fats in the breads." Another healthy alternative is a stop in at the Avenue's New Frontiers Cafe and Market. New Frontiers offers a large healthy deli selection. One can choose between szechuan pasta, black bean burritos ($3.50) or a host of soups. Some of these range are leek potato, curry squash and turkey vegetable. The cafe also has a host of sandwiches like a vegetarian Reuben and the tempeh (a soybean product) Sloppy Joe. To accompany a New Frontiers meal, try one of its smoothies ($2.10). There is the Red Dragon: pineapple, lime juice, strawberries and bananas or the Tropical Treat: papaya, orange, lime and banana. For something warm, the cafe offers a host of herbal teas and gourmet coffees.
