Dennis Kucinich is about to get congressional vegan style!

Vegan Earth Day is approaching on June 21st, and the vegan representative of Ohio plans to deliver a statement about it to the floor of Congress. The event will be televised by C-Span and documented permanently in the Congressional Record.

All eyes will be on you Dennis and it’s recorded forever. But no pressure or anything.

According to a statement made by Kucinich’s Press Secretary Nathan White to Bob Linden of the radio program, Go Vegan With Bob Linden, Kucinich is “crafting a proclamation in support of VEGAN EARTH DAY and its goal of increased global awareness of environmental, health, economic, and other benefits of adopting the vegan lifestyle.”

This year’s Vegan Earth Day celebration in California will feature firefighter Rip Esselstyn, author of the Engine 2-Diet, as well as his father, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, who inspired Rip to go veg.

Dimora disses Dennis diet…say it fast five times.

Dennis Kucinich attended a recent Democratic party fundraiser and dinner in Cayahoga County, Ohio where he became the target for a joke by County Commissioner and party chairman Jimmy Dimora.

When Dennis’ vegan food prepared for him at the dinner was brought up, Dimora advised him to “take it home with him” and joked, “I don’t want anyone getting sick from that.”

This isn’t the first time, Kucinich’s diet has been poked fun of. Ever heard of the tan moderate political party? They eat hummus, pasta, and other “tan” foods.

No hard feelings, as Kucinich still gave a speech which praised the local chairman.

Apu, the Kwik-E-Mart owner on the Simpsons, may sell tofu dogs in his store, but it’s still not enough to get his shop put on the Proggy Awards list of best convenience stores by PETA that are vegetarian friendly.

7-Elevens in Philadelphia will satisfy all your gas station buffet desires with veggie sandwiches- seitan steak, falafel, faux chicken, and tofu-egg. The stores also offer a variety of salads.

“While it is increasingly simple to find vegetarian offerings at many stores and restaurants, 7-Eleven is making it even easier for conscientious consumers to grab a bite on the go,” stated on PETA’s website.

View the list for the rest of the winners in the awards, including congressman Dennis Kucinich.

It’s good to keep up on political issues, whether you like any of the candidates or not. You should be studying energy and immigration policies, how each are planning to solve the high-priced gas issue, and whether McCain likes pepperoni or vegetable pizza.

Yes, that right. You need to know what the politicians are eating!

Vegan Dennis Kucinich is said to favor food of the same color-moderate tan. Of course this sounds as if someone is obviously poking fun at his vegan preferences of hummus, pasta, and pad thai.

McCain may be be furthest from the vegan politician, and not just in terms of views. One of his favorite foods include pepperoni pizza. And we’re not talking about the soy kind. According to the Chicago Sun Times, he is also a big fan of the very unveggie B.L.T.

Executive chef Scot Jones of The Vegiterranean, a vegan restaurant co-owned by him and Pretenders Rocker Chrissie Hynde in Ohio, suggested that regardless of what party you root for, you must admit your favorite politician could probably benefit from some eating improvements.

“The eating habits of both Republicans and Democrats need to change across America,” he said. “People are eating too much saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol and sugar. The level of juvenile diabetes is absurd. The only way we can start to stop this is if the White House starts thinking about our future.”

Maybe that change is sooner than we think. Obama already wants more veggies for the children. And he also likes vegetable pizza.
