Lexington, Kentucky. – To celebrate the beginning of fall, PETA has searched the country for the best and heartiest vegan chili dishes, and The Social Vegan has placed on the list of its vegan chili queso cheese fries filled with lean crumbs with spices and dairy products. -free keso, green onions and chopped tomatoes.
“Chili fries are the perfect comfort food, and they have the comforting thought that no animal was hurt to cook them,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “PETA notes that Social Vegan helps people eat their favorite foods without cruelty and cholesterol.”
PETA, whose motto is partly “Animals are not ours to eat,” notes that the meat industry brands cows, castrates them and rips their horns out of their skulls, often without pain relievers. After that, workers pack the animals into filthy feedlots and then into vehicles for a gruesome ride to the slaughterhouse. Vegan meat sales are up 148% in 2020 over the previous year, and 47% of Americans want to include more vegan foods in their diets in 2021.
Other winners include Plant Bae of Montgomery, Alabama; Arles & Boggs Vegan Diner in Wallingford, Connecticut; Leaf & Bean House in Jacksonville, Florida; The Grit in Athens, Georgia; and Ben’s Chili Bowl in Washington DC. Each establishment will receive a framed certificate from PETA, which offers many vegan chili recipes on its website.
PETA, whose motto is in part that “the animals are not ours to eat” – opposes arrogance, a worldview focused on human superiority. For more information please visit PETA.org or subscribe to the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram…
