Barack Obama Holds Town Hall Meeting In Cedar Rapids

Nikki Benoit, Outreach Coordinator for Florida Voices for Animals, attended an Obama speech at St. Pete Gibbs High in Florida last week and was delighted to hear him discuss the environment, factory farming, and children getting more nutritious food in schools. She was also ecstatic that he could pronounce “vegan.”

“As I was being handed the mic, Obama read my shirt out loud – “Vegan Outreach” . . . . .YES!!! HE DID!!! AND…he pronounced it RIGHT!!!”

Some other points in the Obama speech included more preventative measures to address the health care crisis, such as changing America’s eating habits and he said schools need more fruits and vegetables versus pre-packaged food and meat products.

The story, at Vegan.com, ends with the blogger wondering how McCain would pronounce “vegan.”
