The+Organic+Experience

=**Personal Testimony.** = = = ** When I first walked in to Tender Greens, an organic restaurant in San Diego, located at Liberty Station, I thought it was just another restaurant. But at a closer look the food was nicely displayed behind the counter and it looked like it was fresh off the farm, very green and healthy. The meat was displayed behind the counter as well, so you could actually see what you were getting. I got to pick my own piece of meat which was really cool. We talked to the manager who explained the menu to us and that everything on there was 100% organic. (Except when Nilaja and Dominique asked for hot sauce, that was not organic, or on the menu.) Overall this experience was a lot of fun. First off, the food was very delicious. I had the flank steak with golden mashed potatoes and a romaine salad and a root beer. And the desserts, wow it was sooo... amazing. Everything was delicious. We got to try a little of everything on the dessert menu. After we ate Dominique, Nilaja and I took the camera and interviewed several other diners who enjoyed their lunch on the patio.**
 * Everyone seemed to really love the food. When we asked them why they came to this particular restaurant they mentioned that they do not want to eat conventional food laced with pesticides and that they were concerned about the environment being affected by all the chemicals used through conventional farming.** [[image:Tender_Greens.jpg width="194" height="115" align="right"]] **I think people are becoming more aware of the problems conventional foods have on our health.**
