Lincoln Park Zoo Cafe Goes Organic

I would like to see this happen at more cafes. I would be all for my local zoo going organic.

This weekend, the zoo debuts a special cafe that serves only organic, sustainable or locally grown eatables. Even forks, spoons, knives and cups are made of biodegradable, cornstarch-based plastics.

The article says that this is the start of a five-year greening plan to "reduce the zoo's 'negative environmental impact.'" The cafe serves tomato, basil and mozzarella paninis, which has my interest! Those things are amazing and I would absolutely love to try the organic version. Anyone in Chicago want to pick me up one? Get me some of that organic potato salad, while you're there Cafe at Wild Things website can be viewed here.

This is a great trend. I would like to see an entire city go organic. Some cities have banned trans-fats. Going organic is the next step. Perhaps the battle is one restaurant at a time.

Paul, do you think there might be a city that already is all organic? That would be interesting to find out.
