PETA urges baseball stadiums to go vegetarian

Baseball stadiums : Vegetarian soccer stadiums : non-vegetarian Cricket stadiums : veg + non-veg I thought global warming was 'warm' issue for politicians only, is PETA also a political organisation? Anyway, linking anything to global warming is of more concern than climate change itself.

I guess PETA doesn't believe in an individual's freedom of choice....

"PETA, which is based in the United States, noted that many North American baseball stadiums now offered vegetarian food including burgers made of soy or beans."

News flash for you, PETA: Soy IS beans!

Don't hold your breath for the Hokkaido Nippon Soy Fighters.

’News flash for you, PETA: Soy IS beans!’ But beans isn't necessarily soy, Nessie.

newsboy - I guess Daisy the cow don't get no freedom of choice.

I also think it's sickening how teams feature carnivorous animals as their mascots, like the Tigers and Lions.

Why can't they take the lead of the Yakult Swallows and promote a healthy vegan lifestyle.

I'd definitely go and watch the Rakuten Rabbits play the Saitama Seibu Soybeans.

Cleo, but in this case it should be "soy and other beans," or "beans, particularly soybeans" or "beans, including soybeans". I thought these slippery mental categories were a Japanese phenomenon, like when people here say, "I like pork and meat." Saying "soy and beans" implies that soy is not beans. Still looking forward to seeing the Hokkaido Nippon Vegetable Products That Have Fallen Naturally without Human Intervention Ham-Free Fighters vs the Tokyo Giant Vegans.

Anyway, the generation of CO2 is most notably from traveling to the stadium rather than from the food. The CO2 argument is a PETA humanely raised surrogate red herring vegetable product.

Nessie - Yes, 'soy or other beans' or some such would iron-clad them against our nit-picking.

I was trying to find a veggie meal last weekend and asked in what advertised itself as an 'Indian curry' restaurant if they had anything not containing meat. The 'chef' looked blank at first, then his face lit up and he told me, 'This, this, this and this contain pork, no meat!' I ended up with yet another 4-cheese pizza from the supermarket.

Cleo, You can quote me on it: What this country needs is a good 5-cent Venn diagram.

I don't see how making sports fans switch from eating hot dogs to eating beans is going to reduce greenhouse emission. If anything, I would assume it would increase them.

Peace

Cleo - I just ate at a 'curry' place with this on the menu: "Vegetarian Curry - Pork Ippai!"

On topic - There should be choices in ball parks: the traditional hot dog and a soy variety so that all the people can find something they want. I just hope that more people will realize that a hot dog requires a pig to live its relatively short life in a certain amount of squalor, fear, and degradation.

"fried octopus balls"

How big are those?

"Vegetarian curry - Pork Ippai!"

Har!

Can one just say "soy"? Don't you have to specify "soybeans" or "soymilk"? I'm going to check the dictionary and report back. Maybe "soy" is not even a word.

Wow, lots of people use the word "soy". Guess I'm really out of touch.

mm-hmm, they give gas, that's for sure. Beans, broccoli among others.

As long as sports are male-dominated, cute, fluffy, and vegetative team names are not gonna be popular. A zucchini just doesn't garner the same respect as a bear, eagle, lion, shark, tiger, pirate, rocket, marlin, fighter, giant, wolf, bull, devil ray, etc...

<strong>Moderator: Back on topic please.</strong>

In Jingu Stadium you can take in your own drink and food into the stadium. Atleast last year it was like that, not sure if they have changed that bit this year but doubtful they have. Thats one of many reasons why Jingu is better to watch baseball than the Dome in Tokyo.

I am getting slightly irritated about the lemming mind set of people about this global warming conspiracy and the sheer arrogance by the vegeterian extrremist. Tell these environmentalists that it is the sun which makes the earth warmer and not cows. And tell these vegeterian extremists to mind their own business. Sooner or later these same extremists will tell baseball is barbaric because they use leather gloves and balls made from cow hide.

Please take a hike U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization and PETA.
