Quantcast Vegetarian StarMinority Whip Eric Cantor’s Part Time Vegetarian Ways

House Reps Comment On Economic Stimulus Bill

Minority Whip Eric Cantor has gained media attention for being the only Jewish Republican in the House of Representatives.

As a conservative Jew, he aims to maintain Kosher, which usually results in him abstaining from meat when dining out, where he can’t be certain of its status. 

“I’m basically a vegetarian when I eat out,” Cantor said, according to Moment Magazine.

Yet another example of why flexitarianism finds its way into some people’s lives.

Like fellow representative Bill Galvano, Cantor once had a restaurant name a sandwich after him. It wasn’t vegetarian though, and unfortunately for Cantor, it associated him with jailed lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who hosted a fundraiser for Cantor at the Kosher deli where the sandwich was created, Stacks.

Are you a part-time vegetarian? What are your reasons for flexing?
