Washington -- Wearing sexy NFL referee outfits and holding football-shaped signs that read, "Bench Cruelty: Go Vegan!" two PETA beauties will hand out vegan hot wings on Friday in an area of Washington populated with several sports bars. Their goal? To persuade Super Bowl viewers to give healthy and delicious vegan food a try during the big game this year—it might just help them to be around for many more Super Bowls to come. The only things missing are the cruelty and cholesterol.
When: Friday, February 3, 12 noon
Where: Intersection of Seventh and H streets N.W., Washington
"With all the delicious vegan options available, everyone should throw a flag on meat—and that includes football fans," says sexy referee Leila Sleiman. "No matter which team you place your money on to win the Super Bowl, going vegan is always a safe bet."
In addition to avoiding animal suffering, vegans are less prone to heart disease, strokes, and cancer than meat-eaters are, according to the American Dietetic Association. And researchers at the University of Chicago have determined that switching to a vegan diet is more effective in countering climate change than switching from a standard car to a hybrid vehicle.
