Veggie options for Super Bowl Sunday!

When you prepare to entertain for Super Bowl Sunday, bear in mind that more people, including athletes, are turning to a veggie diet. To make that point, a recent Wall Street Journal reported recently on NFL star Tony Gonzalez choosing a vegan diet.

Bottom line is we can all serve delicious foods and do it the compassionate way!

As you know, vegetarian versions of burgers, hot dogs and snacks are available everywhere. Choose a veggie menu this year for the big day.

When you do, you spare factory-farmed animals a life of suffering and a painful death at the slaughterhouse. As media is reporting and revealing more and more everyday, it is on factory farms that animals live a painful existence until they are killed.

So please consider choosing delicious and healthy vegetarian versions of Super Bowl faves. And have a great time February 3 rooting for your team!
