Meatless Mouthful: Dennis Kucinich Another Non-Judging Vegan
Written by Vegetarian Star on November 16th, 2008 in Meatless Mouthful, Politicians.
“I don’t believe that you can tell anyone what to eat. I think it’s the worst thing in the world to start to tell people—to start to dictate—choices of food. You just can’t do that. But you can show people that if they make choices in a certain way, healthy choices, it might improve the environment. It’s an educational process.”
—-Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), in an interview with VegNews Magazine. The vegan congressman has just earned his seventh consecutive Congressional win this month and boy, has he been busy during his terms.
He’s worked towards food safety, better agricultural practices, and made sure more funds were available to enforce the Animal Welfare Act, among other things.
Like Moby, he thinks you can talk the talk, but not force the walk. Who would’ve thought a suit wearing politician in D.C. and a singer living in New York City’s Little Italy would have so much in common?
