Attention: Baseball Fans
I've never really liked baseball. Adore the Red Sox, mostly because I adore the town, but even in our beloved Fenway I only lasted a quarter or two before heading home. Or was it a period? Inning?
Then my two boys took a liking to sports. These budding athletes enjoy baseball games and, since I love them, I've learned to enjoy sitting on my ass for hours while they rile up the crowd with "Let's go Devil Rays!"
Beer helps.
We always eat a meal before heading to the stadium because healthy food isn't available at such venues. The boys have never had cotton candy, hot dogs, or burgers. (I know. Worst mom ever.) They aren't missing anything, except hardened arteries, and get excited over treats like warm pretzels and ice-cold lemonade. Sometimes I get a craving for veggie hot dogs, especially when I see people devouring the real thing. However, I didn't know what to do about it.
Until now! This website is available so baseball-lovin' veggies can petition stadiums to start serving cruelty-free menu items!
Several venues already started serving veggie dogs - a few sold out during opening games and had to rush order more cases the very first week. Please help us get the word out and encourage these businesses to provide healthy alternatives. My kids deserve the whole not-so-hot dog/baseball experience. And so do yours.
H/T to Kleo.

"So it's root, root, root for the home team,
if they don't serve veg it's a shame,
For it's 1 salad, 2 tofu, 3 fruit, we're in!
At the old ball game..."
I can't believe you would deny your children the simple pleasures of hot dogs and cotton candy at a baseball game. If you ask any physician, he/she would tell you that arteries don't begin hardening from that kind of food until adult age, unless their ENTIRE diet is that type of food. Let your kids enjoy and when they are adults they can choose to be vegans (hopefully they don't)! The best words to live by..."Everything in moderation".
