Vegan Police Officer

Written by PETA

Remember the story about the vegan firefighters in Austin, TX? Well, now there's a police officer giving them a run for their money, literally.

In a bid to whip his fellow officers into shape, Sergeant Scott Cary started a department running team and went vegan. It’s a pretty cool story, and you can check it out here.And if you’re waiting on a doughnut joke, it's not gonna happen. As Scott says in the article, "The days of coffee and doughnuts are over. It's a latte with soy milk and a bagel."

Sorry Mars you're still wrong. It's a myth that Hitler was a vegetarian. I provided a referenced quote to prove that Hitler was NOT a vegetarian. Just because you want him to be one does not change the fact that he was not. Where's your verifiable proof? No Maher said "First of all ANYONE with common sense should know by now how bad soy is for someone. The information is all over the place about soy." Fine no Maher if you are so concerned about the health of the vegetarians here provide some links to some credible verifiable sources that denounce soy and not our friendly antisoy meat industry apologists Sally Fallon and Mary Enig.

Alexa good for you for doing what you can! Just one thing...you said that you eat fruits and veggies but "not too much." PLEASE try to eat more fruits and veggies...you should get at least 10 servings a day and when you find out what "a serving" is you'd be surprised how small it is!. Just one snack cup of applesauce is a whole fruit serving for example! We want you to grow up to be strong and healthy so you can continue the good fight! There IS such a thing as too much tofu! And I just realized I officially sound like a mom...

"It comes from a tortured suffering creature " Wrong again. Meat comes contented animals.Torturingsuffering ruins meat just like doing the same thing ruins plants.

Mars your last sentence 'is it too hard for you to believe that true evil comes from the heart of man not what he puts in his mouth' shows me directly that you don't know anything! Don't you know that the meat which somebody puts into his mouth does not grow on trees. It comes from a tortured suffering creature and having no mercy with this tortured suffering creatures shows me that you are a putrified heartless rascal! Don't get me wrong I don't care if you are a meateater or not but you are heartless and this is the point! I have no human sympathy for you!!!

First of all ANYONE with common sense should know by now how bad soy is for someone a young person in particular. I myself am for the most part a vegan every now and then I'll drink some cow's milk. I sure as hell am not going to destroy my thyroid by drinking that damn stuff and the information is all over the place by people who have NOTHING to do with the meat industry. They are just concerned scientists and doctors who don't want junk be fed to people especially infants who could be effected negatively for a long time because of it. Vegans think that every last thing they eat is just perfect in every way well guess what you twits like Michelejust like the world where all the cute cuddly little animals can't all live together in unison veganism isn't perfect. If abortion should be legal because of choice then people should be able to eat what they want without the animal dictators harassing them. I'm really getting sick of the people haters in this world by the way just beacuse someone care a lot more about a person doesn't mean they're "animal haters".

Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights? Read more.
