Nice to know Chase Field is a leader here too.
"Considering Phoenix was ranked the 12th fattest city by Men's Fitness, it's great that Chase Field offers D-Backs fans delicious low-fat vegetarian food. Fans can get swimsuit-ready for the stadium pool with tasty, low-fat Gardenburgers, fruit and veggie platters, vegetarian burritos, and veggie subs."
What do you think? I know baseball is associated with greasy goodness.Does the veggie option destroy tradition?

What's the link?
I keep getting sent back to a “Create a fanshot” page.
Knock off the hippie crap, strap on a helmet, and start shooting. This is baseball, Diamondbacks, I want you to storm that beach like it's Normandy!

Fixed
PETA sent me a press-release about that, so I had the info to hand. :-) I was going to go off on a rant about it. I think the bit that got my goat – as it were – was the description of the top park, Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia:
Chickens, cows, and sea animals everywhere are putting their wings, hooves, fins, and claws together in honor of Kevin Tedesco, the team’s concession manager, who has spearheaded the Phillies’ veggie surge.
No, they’re not. They’re chickens, cows and sea animals. They couldn’t give a damn about the concessions sold at a baseball stadium in Philadelphia. Sheesh. That paragraph sums up everything I hate about the extremist animal rights lobby.

+1
And totally agreed. Although I did date a gorgeous Vegan blonde once. It kinda sucked, because there was like 1 restaurant in the entire city that we could go to.

this is awesome!
i asked for more veggie options, specifically dogs, in one of the chats with prez hall earlier this season. i’m thrilled that there will be more things i can/want to eat at the next game i attend. big big kudos to the team for making it just a little bit more delicious to keep baseball and death seperate; those nachos are brutal on the ol’ g.i. tract.

Oh yes. South of the neck? Not so much.

More nonsense from PETA
PETA ad compares bus beheading to animal abuse
TORONTO (AP) — The animal rights group PETA has tried unsuccessfully to run a newspaper ad comparing the beheading and cannibalizing of a passenger on a Greyhound bus in Canada last week to the treatment of animals by the meat industry. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said on its Web site it wanted to run the ad in Manitoba’s Portage la Prairie Daily Graphic, which is distributed in the city near where a man stabbed a fellow passenger multiple times, then beheaded him and ate pieces of the body. However, city editor Tara Seel said Thursday the newspaper had no intention of running the ad, which uses imagery of a victim’s throat being cut, in reference to the slaughter of animals on factory farms.

Oh, yes...
According to a police report Dalmyn read from in court, the accused carried the victim’s severed head back and forth on the bus “taunting” officers. Armed with a knife and a pair of scissors, he was also observed “cutting body parts from the victim and eating those body parts,” said Dalmyn. Throughout the ordeal, the only thing police heard from Li was the statement: “I have to stay on the bus forever,” Dalmyn told court. After Li’s arrest, officers discovered a plastic bag containing an ear, nose and part of a mouth in the pocket of the accused, she said.

There were fruit and veggie carts
around the concourse during the first few seasons. I know that’s how I bribed my gf to come to games with me. She could order strawberries and cream and I could get my dog and beer.
I love the smell of commerce in the morning
