Vegetarian-friendly Salt Lake City is one of the 10 best places in America to be meat-free

Salt Lake City is one of the 10 best places in America to be a vegetarian, according to a new per capita ranking released Friday.

“With a strong vegan scene and a slew of outstanding vegetarian dining options, you’ll find plenty of plant-based fuel to power your ski sessions on SLC’s four nearby mountains," notes the ranking, compiled by Apartment Guide, an online rental resource.

Salt Lake City was ranked seventh on the list with one organic, vegetarian or vegan business for every 2,674 residents.

Charleston, S.C. , was the best city to be a “veghead," with one business for every 2,141 residents.
