There are many diets in the eco-sphere, including organic, vegetarian, vegan, slow food, local food, seasonal, the raw diet, and so on. Below we showcase some of the best resources to find other eco food enthusiasts. (and maybe the green diet of your dreams)
Organic Consumers Forum – This forum is an arm of the Organic Consumers Network and it is a fully featured area where eco conscious consumers can sign up and dish about all things organic, including food, safety, farm issues, and more. This is a great space for those interested in the organic diet.
Zeer -Are you wanting a review site that caters exclusively to food products? Then check out Zeer, a community of members who share rate and review all sorts of food items. From brand names to names you may not have heard of, the members on this site cover it all. Zeer was also named a top website pick by the editors of Time.
Local Harvest Forum – A fully featured and active forum from the creators of the most established farmer’s market directory. Local Harvest is a popular resource for those looking to find local farmer’s markets, and the forum is a great place to find other eco foodies. A must bookmark.
Happy Cow – I can’t write an article on eco food and not include Happy Cow. This wonderful resource is a giant database of national (and international) restaurants that serve animal friendly food. They also cover health food stores as well, not just restaurants. I wrote about them previously here. Happy Cow also has a great community section complete with forums, blogs, and member profiles. Looking for a vegetarian restaurant in Egypt? (and who isn’t) Consult the Happy Cow website. Another cool feature of this eco food community is that you can help in updating it. If you’re local health food store or eco eatery is not listed, add it. To participate, just open a free member account.
Soy Milk – This is a social network for vegans and vegetarians. Soy Milk is new but active and good discussions are taking place here, plus you gotta love that name. Built on the Ning interface, this one is very web 2.0, it sports a forum, blogs, and an area for members to add their profile.
Groovy Vegetarian – This is my site, (so a shameless plug) but the blog is welcoming of any and all eco enthusiasts. The mission behind my blog is to showcase products of interest to new and not so new vegetarians. I cover the veg diet, products, news, and everything in between. Everyone is welcome, you don’t have to be vegan or veg to partake in blog discussions or read the articles. Do join me.

In conclusion:
I am not recommending the Food Network, because it is hard for me to believe that an entire CHANNEL dedicated to food, doesn’t have ONE vegetarian, vegan, or organic show on its roster. I mean really, with the demand at an all time high, where is our programming. It is hard to believe.
