Georges Laraque On Tofu, Payless Shoes

Written by Vegetarian Star on October 12th, 2009 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Fashion, Food & Drink.

Montreal Canadiens v Toronto Maple Leafs

In the midst of the press, Georges Laraque took off one of his shoes.

He didn’t throw it at George W. Bush, but instead took the time to educate a reporter about animal-free shoes.

“Even my shoes. I got this pair I’m wearing from Payless, paid $40 for them. I don’t wear leather now,” Laraque said.

The Montreal Canadienes player went vegan in June, but that doesn’t mean he’s a tofu fanatic.

“I never really liked tofu but when you decide to make that switch, it’s not that hard,” he said.

“When you see what an animal goes through, it would have been way tougher for me to contribute to the meat industry. I mean, I never really liked tofu but if this was a diet, it might have been harder because maybe you’d miss the meat. But I am doing it because of the animals, so it’s totally different.”

And despite the fact he might be buying more shoes this season, he’s really gung ho about synthetics.

“Payless Shoes,” Laraque emphasized. “They won’t last as long, but I’m not mistreating any animals, so it’s perfect.”

Not to mention, Payless has some eco friendly Zoe and Zac footwear for the ladies now.
