Montreal -- Clad in sexy black pit-crew outfits and spiked heels, two PETA beauties will hand out delicious vegan kielbasa sausages and encourage people to "Rev Your Engine—Go Vegan" at the Formula 1 Race Weekend on Thursday. Their point? That the cholesterol and animal fat in meat, eggs, and dairy products slow the flow of blood to all the body's organs—not just the heart—and can increase the risk of impotence.
When: Thursday, June 9, 12 noon
Where: LG Crescent Street Grand Prix Festival, Boulevard de Maisonneuve Ouest & Rue Crescent, Montréal
Besides leading to animal suffering and environmental degradation on a massive scale, eating meat in the kitchen has a lot to do with what goes on—or doesn't go on—in the bedroom. And it isn't just men who should fuel up on veggies. The landmark Nurses' Health Study of 18,000 women found that women who replaced animal protein with vegetarian protein sources lowered their risk of ovulatory infertility by more than 50 percent.
"We want to turn carnivores on … to vegan foods—a natural form of Viagra," says PETA crew chief Emily Lavender. "So no matter how much muscle you might have parked in the garage, if you want to make sure that your own engine is running on high octane, you should go vegan."
