Minority Whip Eric Cantor’s Part Time Vegetarian Ways
Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, March 5th, 2009 in Flexitarian, Food & Drink, Politicians.
Minority Whip Eric Cantor has gained media attention for being the only Jewish Republican in the House of Representatives.
As a conservative Jew, he aims to maintain Kosher, which usually results in him abstaining from meat when dining out, where he can’t be certain of its status.
“I’m basically a vegetarian when I eat out,” Cantor said, according to Moment Magazine.
Yet another example of why flexitarianism finds its way into some people’s lives.
Like fellow representative Bill Galvano, Cantor once had a restaurant name a sandwich after him. It wasn’t vegetarian though, and unfortunately for Cantor, it associated him with jailed lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who hosted a fundraiser for Cantor at the Kosher deli where the sandwich was created, Stacks.
