The Food Network of course is the largest food channel on TV and has over 150 shows on it's network of channels. However, not even one show is focused on the Vegan/Vegetarian lifestyle?
Vegan and vegetarian contestants have shown up recently on some of their cooking competition shows, but no show focused on cooking vegan or vegetarian. This is actually quite confusing since there is a recent trend in mainstream culture for these lifestyles.
At the end of the day for TV it comes down to money and yes they can only make and broadcast shows that earn them the other green. Although I know this is how Hollywood and TV usually work, but I really think it is about time.
I know I am not the only one wondering this because you can check out a great post by our friends at Ecorazzi who have the same questions and list other sites asking the same questions over and over with minimal response.
The post also has some cool show ideas, so check them out at Ecorazzi.

Yes I did watch the Iron Chef Broccoli challenge and is good to see at least some programming is starting to hit the network.
