5% of Americans are vegetarian while 2% are vegan. That means that more than 20 million Americans eat only vegetarian food. Yet, in airports, restaurants, and most of the places one can go to, public or private, there are very few vegetarian options. There is the salad and that's pretty much it. My doctor told me that being a vegetarian was the best thing for my health. It helps protect animals who don't have to live in crowded, filthy conditions and die. Plus, meats are much more inefficient and use up much more of our natural resources than vegetarian food. First Lady Michelle Obama herself has promoted eating vegetable and the like. Yet, we can't eat healthy if there are no options to do so. Thus, the White House should offer incentives to places to offer vegetarian food.
