Alice Laussade’s (quite) irreverent Cheap Bastard’s Vegetarian Guide to Being a Vegetarian Bastard In Dallas. She ate a vegetarian diet for 30 days and checked out restaurants around town to see who had the best veggie menus.
So if you happen to be at a local Whole Foods this Sunday and see protesters, do not be alarmed. Activists are passing out flyers at some locations around the country on the 17th to advocate for rabbits. Whole Foods has started selling rabbit meat in a few markets as a result of customer demand, but lots of folks aren’t too keen on seeing their little furry pets in meat trays (apparently they are the third most popular pet).
