[stuff Raw Foodists Like] Obama Mentioned Vegetarians in His Town

Hall Meetin...

President Obama answered questions from residents in a Ft. Myers, FL, Town

Hall Meeting today. In answer to one person's question, he said, " We're open

to new ideas from everyone, even if they're Republicans, even if they

vegetarians. "

 

Now those in the raw foods community who are not Republicans (and I would

venture that most of us are not) might not appreciate his grouping us (in

the broad sense, as raw vegans are within the larger vegetarian population)

in a sentence with Republicans.

 

But as PR people say, any publicity is good publicity.

 

Let's take this mention of vegetarians and run with it!

 

Please take a moment right now (before you forget) and sign this petition

asking Obama to add a raw chef to the White House kitchen

staff<http://www.petitiononline.com/rvcwh/petition.html>.

Yes, he's got more pressing things on his plate, but it can't hurt to ask

him, right? And we just might raise his consciousness a bit. And if we can

do that, it's a huge media boon for raw foods! Imagine having a raw vegan

chef in the White House!

 

And tell your raw-friendly friends to sign it too!
