Though most young celebrities spend their 21st birthday throwing lavish parties, Jaden Smith spent his special day launching a vegan food truck called the 'I Love You Restaurant.' However, this isn't just any vegan restaurant on wheels. Rather, the I Love You Restaurant is a charitable venture that aims to bring healthy food to the homeless.
Earlier this week, Smith went on Instagram to announce the debut of the I Love You Restaurant. As Smith explained, the mobile restaurant will serve up hearty vegan food to the homeless completely free of charge. As Smith put it, "[It's] a movement that is all about giving people what they deserve." Based on photos from the truck's launch, the menu includes veggie-rich meals such as the 'I Love You' bowls.
