So many restaurants have vegan options. Did you know that Taco Bell's beans and tortillas are vegan? Here are good suggestions for dining at Denny's from Mercy For Animals:

An Inconvenient Sequel
I agree that the film could have spent more than a millisecond on mention of Animal AG's contribution to Climate Change, but I saw the film to be more about Al Gore's struggle simply to keep Climate Change a main topic of conversation, especially now in the face of Trump's outrageous efforts to squash the inconvenient truth, facts, and science. (Parts of the film had to be re-written before release to address the most recent onslaught of garbage coming from the WH.)
The film is less about the many contributors to a warming planet and pollution than it is about effecting energy policy changes through global agreements, such as Al helped to facilitate at the 2015 Paris COP21 Summit.
This article presents good critique of the film:
"Simply put, animal agriculture is one of the main culprits behind climate change. An Inconvenient Truth failed to address this, and people have been wondering whether the sequel would make up for it, particularly since it again stars Al Gore, who himself went vegan after realizing the connection between animal agriculture and global warming."
I did not know that Al went vegan! So, while Al may not be "talking the talk" as much as he could, he is certainly "walking the walk," as his Wiki page elaborates:
"In 2013, Gore became a vegan. He had earlier admitted that "it's absolutely correct that the growing meat intensity of diets across the world is one of the issues connected to this global crisis – not only because of the [carbon dioxide] involved, but also because of the water consumed in the process" and some speculate that his adoption of the new diet is related to his environmentalist stance. In a 2014 interview, Gore said "Over a year ago I changed my diet to a vegan diet, really just to experiment to see what it was like. ... I felt better, so I've continued with it and I'm likely to continue it for the rest of my life."
An Inconvenient Sequel profiles Al Gore's commitment (he calls it his "mission") to keep Climate Change on the front burner in global discourse.
Keep up the great work, Al!
May all beings be happy and well, free of suffering and the causes of suffering.

Albert Einstein
"A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." - Albert Einstein
May all beings be happy and well, free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
