Rachael Ray, Dog Isaboo Run From Vegans

Although she included an entire vegetarian recipe chapter in her Big Orange Book cookbook, it didn’t look as though Rachael Ray was too interested in talking to vegans. Or maybe she just wasn’t interested in talking to Super Vegans.

Roseann Marulli and Joy Askew over at SuperVegan.com set up a Farm Stock Animal Sanctuary booth in Union Park Square with a huge sign overhead that read, “Ask A Vegan.”

It was an opportunity for people to stop by and ask questions about veganism, animal rights, and get literature if they wanted.

Rachael Ray and her husband John Cusimano stopped by, along with their dog Isaboo. John stayed and chatted for a while, but when Rachael found out what the booth was about, she and Isaboo walked away faster than you can say, “Extra Virgin Olive Oil.”

So even though she listened to vegetarians on tour who expressed interest in more veg recipes for her cookbook, don’t expect more vegan recipes anytime soon.

“I guess it’s not just the Food Network that’s afraid of vegans!” Roseann said.

Or maybe it was Isaboo’s idea, as she was scared of what vegan dog food Rachael might try to concoct.

By the way, the gals are still doling out vegan advice every other Saturday, same time, same place.

    The Food Network passed on my show saying it was for too much of a “niche market.” The funny thing about that is that most of my viewers are non-vegetarians who are curious about the lifestyle and interested in eating more healthily part of the time.
