Chrissie Hynde Attracts Mostly Meat Eaters At Her Veg Eatery

The Vegiterranean, a vegan restaurant created and owned by The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde, isn’t exactly located in the hub of vegetarianism.
But that doesn’t stop her from bringing business to her hometown of Akron, Ohio, as she says mostly meat eaters dine there.
“Ninety per cent of the people who go there are meat eaters,” Hynde said. “They just think the food’s great and there’s not a bean sprout in sight.”
Not that Chrissie isn’t into anything with the word “bean” attached to it.
“I could eat beans on toast every day for the rest of my life, no complaints at all. I’m a buffet kind of person. I’d much rather go in for a buffet, load up my plate, sit down, eat and split, or have a piece of pizza on a doorstep or something. I can’t stand fuss.”
She’s not a party person either, stating she never gets invited because “they don’t invite vegetarians.”
But that may be for the best, as she gets to dart silly questions like, “Do you eat fish?”
“I’ve been having that same conversation for 40 years!” she said.

Cool website (www.pawsibble.com) that can help you track how many animals you can save by turning vegetarian even one meal at a time.

Yeah, it never fails to amaze me how many times I get asked, “Do you eat chicken?” when I say I’m vegetarian.
