Veg v. Meat


Big Apple tosses us another interesting link in this New York Daily News story about a "Veggie Pride Parade" in NYC. Not sanctioned by the Produce for Better Health Foundation, this parade was more anti-meat than pro-veggie. From the story:

It was New York's first-ever Veggie Pride Parade - and people in giant carrot costumes sprouted across the Meatpacking District.
"We're putting the meat business on notice," said parade organizer Pamela Rice. "We're watching them now."
She was one of several hundred vegetarian and vegan activists who assembled on a plaza down the street from the Hog Pit BBQ restaurant for a march to Washington Square Park to promote the environmental, ethical and health advantages of a meat-free diet.

TK: Only in NY? Maybe, but that's why we love the Big Apple.
