Biz Stone and his business partner and co-founder of Twitter, Evan Williams, are celebrating five years of saying it in 140 characters.

Stone was recently a guest on Conan O’Brien‘s show when the subject of some of Stone’s past Tweets came up. One of those Tweets was about Stone discovering Amtrak  offered a vegan burger. Stone Tweeted,”Wow, Amtrak serves a vegan burger! Nice.”

“I would not have that burger,” Conan said while laughing.

Well, that’s surely his choice, but we think Conan will miss out on some serious foodie fun!

Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter, owns two rescue dogs, Pedro, a one-eyed Chihuahua, and Maggie.

The 140 character guru who’s visit to a farm animal sanctuary turned him vegan gave the New York Times a glimpse into a day in his life, which includes waking up at 7AM to feed his dogs, or risk them getting “feisty.”

Breakfast or any other meal might consist of a combination of southern and Turkish cooking, thanks to his wife’s mixed heritage.

“Lately, it’s been southern style biscuits from scratch. We’re both vegan. Her dad is from Nashville and her mom is from Istanbul, so there’s an interesting range of influence in her cooking.”

Biz failed to say if the rescue dogs get feisty if not given a taste of southern biscuits.

Livia Stone

Livia Stone is the First Lady of Twitter.

That’s right, she’s married to Biz Stone, co-founder of telling it like it is in 140 characters or less.

Like Biz, Livia shuns meat and is also an animal activist.

Vegansaurus got a chance to talk with her to find out how this 10 year vegan got involved with the vegetarian/animal rights scene.

Why she went VEG:
“Initially I went veg because I realized I didn’t need to kill or exploit animals to live, but as I learned more—especially about the environmental impact of animal agriculture—I can’t believe anyone who is interested in going “green” doesn’t give up or at least reduce the amount of animal products they consume.”

And that picture of the cheesy lasagna that made us thing Biz wasn’t really vegan? Completely dairy free!
“Since I’ve discovered Daiya cheese I’ve been making a mean mac ‘n cheese casserole but generally I’m big on making soups from scratch, especially heirloom tomato soup. For bakesales, just about anything from my cupcake cookbook. The carrot cupcake with cream cheese frosting recipe is amazing!”
