MISSION & HISTORY

Mission

"Change our diet, change our world" is our motto. It is our belief that a vegetarian diet chosen by an increasing percentage of world population, is essential to our world's long-term well-being. Meat consumption is harmful to people's health, causes global pollution and deforestation, and, needless to say, is the core reason for tremendous suffering inflicted upon defenseless animals everywhere. The US is among those countries which has the highest per capita consumption of meat in the world... Thus, changing the world should start from our own backyard.

We at VegeCyber will do our best to provide a wide selection of delicious, high quality and inexpensive vegetarian, organic, and vegan food to people all over the US and Canada. It is our wish that one day, the 5/95% vegetarian vs. non-vegetarian composition of our country's population will become 95/5%!

Background

Back in 1995, a few committed meditation practitioners were having a hard time finding a variety of high quality vegetarian food at a reasonable price, so they decided to form 'Good Taste Inc.' to import high quality vegetarian food from the Orient. They knew that in the East there already existed a sophisticated vegetarian tradition followed by a fairy large portion of the population.

Retail store

After an initial period of learning and trying, the import/wholesale business gradually became a stable business in the New York tri-state area. In 1999, "VegeCyber", a retail store, was opened for business. Today, the store has over a thousand vegetarian, organic and vegan food products in stock. It is, in fact, a health food store without the typical health food store prices.

If you visit New York City, please stop by to say hello to our friendly staff and browse through our wide selection of healthy vegetarian food products. Our store is located conveniently in New York's downtown, Chinatown area, at 217 Wyckoff Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11237.

VegeCyber on-line food store

By popular demand, we decided to put some of our most popular food products on the web. With the growing popularity of the world wide web, we envision one day that even vegetarians living in the remote parts of the U.S. and Canada will be able to enjoy first rate international cuisine easily prepared in their own kitchens.
