Vegan Soapbox

soapbox: platform used to make impromptu or unofficial public speeches.
I didn’t watch the video because I’m at work but I wonder if they mentioned Nicole Lapin (http://www.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/lapin.nicole.html). She’s a CNN reporter and, according to a recent article in Vegetarian Times, she’s also vegan.
I saw her in Vegetarian Times, too! She’s so pretty. The interview struck me because she said she went vegan because she got sick of cheese! And I relate! She was vegetarian and spent time in Paris and ended up eating cheese sandwiches all the time. I did that too! And now I really don’t like cheese to much and I’m really sick of Brie. It’s funny.
Anyway, to answer your question I don’t think they mentioned her veganism. But I forget. It’s a pretty long segment and it’s almost all positive. I was impressed.
