The Rise of the Vegan Moguls

As I was coming out of the Metro at L'Enfant this morning, there were the usual people handing out the free daily newspapers. And, there were some people handing out free copies of Bloomberg Businessweek- which is outside the norm. Also, outside the norm, was this article in the copy I was handed, it's called "The Rise of the Vegan Moguls". I was very surprised to learn that Bill Clinton and Mike Tyson are now vegans. Seeing as how eating animal products from factory farms is not only bad for one's health, but also bad for the environment, maybe we'll soon see information that Al Gore has gone vegan? As a 23 year vegetarian, and self described "weak willed vegan" (meaning I try to eat as little eggs and dairy as possible, and it can be a challenge in this culture I'm stuck in that thinks that is outright obsessed with eating animals), maybe it's time for me to get serious about being a vegan 100% of the time.
