Vegetarian Star

Biz Stone was a guest at Farm Sanctuary’s Hoe Down this weekend, and shared a few experiences via Twitter.

The 140 character social media platform co-founder turned vegan after visiting an animal sanctuary in New York.

“These creatures are special just like all of us, and since I don’t need to eat them to live, I’m going to leave them alone,” Stone told SF Gate. “And then there’s the cruelty, which is awful. From then on, I have happily been vegan.”

Stone appearing at the country line dancing event to raise money for abandoned and abused farm animals isn’t his first act of activism.

While an employee of Google Inc. in 2003, Stone convinced execs to put more vegan items on the menu, something he said everyone enjoyed.

“I have found that when vegan options are provided in the workplace, many non-vegans will go for them either because they find them tasty or they appreciate the healthier choice.”

According to its website, ARAMARK, one of the nation’s largest providers of food services to businesses, has several hundred recipes for vegetarian and vegan food that could potentially be served at workplaces where employees demand such fare.

It is also the same company that is responsible for adding so many new vegetarian and vegan options in professional baseball fields this season.

ARAMARK can offer cage-free eggs and has partnered with the Monterray Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program to shift towards sustainable seafood purchases over the next 10 years.

Red Sox fans will have additional options while enjoying future games at Fenway Park.

ARAMARK has helped one of America’s famous ballparks expand its vegetarian menu to include a new veggie burger, veggie hot dog, and a spinach and mozzarella Stromboli.

These changes come to an already vegetarian friendly menu offering veggie pizzas, burritos, hummus and fruit cups.

An expanding menu is just one of the numerous changes made to the facility, some of which include improved restroom facilities and easier access between different areas of the parks with more stairways.

Larry Lucchino, president and chief executive officer of the Red Sox called this year’s improvements “less sexy than in the past but very appealing to some of our fans.”

Considering the saturated fat and cholesterol in so many meat foods sold in ballpark vending areas that can lead to obesity, fatigue and erectile dysfunction, making healthier vegetarian foods available to Red Sox fans and even fans of their opponents sounds like a very sexy thing to do.
