Kudos to Tennessee Governor Sundquist for standing up to pressure from vegans to proclaim a state wide "vegetarian month." The major concern with the proclamation is that the wording is too anti-meat. The proposal reads, "Our food supply should be safe and wholesome, rather than laced with pathogens, fat, cholesterol, hormones and carcinogens." Had the vegans worded the proclamation a bit less anti-meat and just pro-vegetable, the Governor would probably sign it.

Still, resolute in pushing their beliefs onto other people, the wacko-vegans are refusing to back down and claim that giving up meat is a positive thing and the proclamation should be endorsed.

The vegans probably won't have to wait long, because Sundquist gives up his post as Governor after this year. Tennessee elected a Democratic Governor which means that right after endorsing the passage of a state income tax, the new Governor will probably gladly sign the anti-meat endorsement.
