It's tempting to eat poorly during the holidays (so much junk food, so little much time), but now there's one place in which the old excuses no longer apply: the airport. In its annual report on the state of restaurant food at airports, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine found that 83 percent of menus contain at least one vegetarian item, up from 57 percent in its first survey in 2001.

I can see the day when flight attendants will offer the choice of "Seitan or tofu?" 'Til then, all that low-fat veggie fare should make it easier to get those holiday flights off the ground—and once you arrive, you'll be ready to persuade your family members to go vegan in the new year!  

That's right. Every year PETA's crack team of baseball and veggie hot dog experts scours the nation's baseball stadiums to rank the ten best according to an incredibly complex algorithm that takes into account such factors as deliciousness of the veggie dogs, crunchiness of the salads, and variety of the selection. The Philadelphia Phillies grabbed the number one spot this year on the strength of their Philly mock steak sandwich—and you can click the banner below to find out whether your city's stadium made it into the top ten. We also ranked the minor leaguers this year, which you can check out here.

As an Orioles fan, I was pleased to see that Camden Yards got an honorable mention. Enjoy it while you can, fellow O's enthusiasts—it's probably the only thing we'll win at all this year.
