Does anything here look healthy, should I be wary of eating here?!


Question: Does anything here look healthy, should I be wary of eating here?
I myself am a vegan. Actually pretty strict. I ALWAYS look for the healthiest option. Well, and every now and then. I like to treat myself. I believe it helps you stay on track, instead of the usual, mundane food I eat everyday. I think what it comes down to, it Number 1. My heath! Number 2. My appearance.
I wanted to treat myself today to a unique vegan lunch. I live in Scranton, and there is this awesome vegan restaurant. I've been there actually a number of times. The only thing. I've only tried what appears to be the healthiest items on their menus. So, can you conscious vegan/vegetarians help me find something that is satisfying, with healthy benefits.

Unless those animals they're serving are all vegan mock meats, this most definitely is not a vegan restaurant. Not even close.
