Canadian Hockey Player Georges Laraque Announces Veganism, Goes To KFC To Celebrate

Okay so first, Georges Laraque is a Canadian hockey player. He currently plays for the the Montreal Canadiens in the National Hockey League. This beautiful man is of Haitian descent and is frequently involved in volunteering in his community.

Georges was a long-time vegetarian and recently announced that he has gone vegan ! Last month, he took to his blog and wrote ::

......I am pleased to announce that as of today I am officially a vegan. I am grateful for the hundreds of emails I received from vegetarians and vegans showing their support and sharing tips. As this is a all new for me, I invite you to continue sharing your experiences with me. A special thanks to the Montreal Vegetarian Association for their support.

Finally, I decided to invest time in supporting animal rights. I have already joined various animal rights organizations. I feel it is important to help the living creatures that don’t have a voice to defend themselves. I believe that we should all, especially public figures, raise awareness for this cause......

So, to celebrate his new life of being a vegan, he took a trip to his local ~~Burger King~~ KFC (Ooops. I had BK on the mind because I ate that for dinner) and ordered a chicken sandwich.......a vegan chicken sandwich ! (Although I really hope the chefs use separate grills and equipment. That would defeat the purpose of a vegan sandwich.)

Georges is pictured at the top of this post with the delicious ~~Burger King~~ KFC sandwich. He looks so hot !

And pictured below is the sandwich in question. It looks yummy ! I want to move back to Canada so I can try this.

have it your way
