Baton Rouge, La. -- Wearing nothing but underwear during a display of passion that's bound to raise a few eyebrows and turn lots of heads, vegan bodybuilder and author Robert Cheeke and sultry Debra Simpson will passionately make out in a bed that will be set up on a street in downtown Baton Rouge. While the not-so-discreet couple is getting it on beneath a banner that reads, "Vegans Make Better Lovers," PETA members will hand out condoms from Sir Richard's Condom Company bearing the same message as well as copies of the group's "'Go Vegetarian, Go Vegan' Starter Kit" to gaping passersby. PETA wants people to know that they can do themselves—and animals—a big favor by going vegan.

When:   Tuesday, February 8, 12 noon

Where:  Intersection of Third and Florida streets, Baton Rouge 

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 also 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 Simpson. "It's veggie burgers in the kitchen for a whopper in the bedroom!"
