Chattanooga, Tenn. -- Wearing nothing but underwear during a display of passion that's bound to raise a few eyebrows and turn lots of heads, vegan couple Shena Anderson and Ryan Hendrix will passionately make out in a bed that will be set up on a street in downtown Chattanooga. While the not-so-discreet couple is getting it on beneath a banner that reads, "Vegans Make Better Lovers," PETA members will hand out copies of the group's "'Go Vegetarian, Go Vegan' Starter Kit" to gaping passersby. Anderson and Hendrix want people to know that they can do themselves--and animals--a big favor by going vegan.

When:   Friday, February 12, 12 noon

Where:  Intersection of Market and W. 10th streets, Chattanooga

What's so sexy about going vegan? Besides the fact that heart disease, strokes, diabetes, obesity, and various types of cancer--all of which have been conclusively linked to the consumption of meat and other animal-derived products--aren't exactly turn-ons, eating meat is responsible for an enormous amount of animal suffering and can increase the risk of impotence. Cholesterol and animal fat slow the flow of blood to all the body's vital organs--not just to the heart.

"What could be more of a turn-on than snuggling up to someone who's both passionate and compassionate?" asks Anderson. "It's veggie burgers in the kitchen for a whopper in the bedroom!"
