If things look a little greener around here this April, there's a good reason. Our editorial staff is busy expanding the ideals of Earth Day into a month-long celebration of energy conservation, alternative transportation, recycling tips and about a million ways you can be a better friend to the planet. Welcome to Green Month, Milwaukee.
About five years ago, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) asked the Brewers to add a soy sausage to their lineup of sausage racers, which features a bratwurst, hot dog, Polish sausage, chorizo and Italian sausage.
More recently, in one of our infamous April Fool's spoof stories, OnMilwaukee.com wrote about vegetarian Prince Fielder calling for a soy dog to be added to the sausage race. Of course, we were joking … but maybe not completely.
Is it even remotely possible that a veggie sausage could race with their meaty counterparts?
Most likely not, simply because the sausage race is a promotion for Klement's sausages, and the company does not feature a veggie sausage of any kind. However, perhaps there are more marketing opportunities here.
Maybe Outpost Natural Foods would like to sponsor a soy sausage in the race? It's not likely this is an option, but for the love of Green Month on OnMilwaukee.com, it's worth revisiting.

There is no reason to have a soy dog in this race. This race is about the Milwaukee tradition of sausages. This city is not known for its veggie cuisine. That is the problem with vegitarians and vegans, they are always pushing their agenda on other people. I have no problem what other people choose to eat, but why do you want everyone to be like you. Why force your beliefs on others. The soy dog is utterly rediculous for the race, and would make Milwaukee the laughingstock of the league.

Lep: We're gonna call it a Tubular Protein Delivery Race. Or Cylindrical Quasi Meat Race (after all, hotdogs are only partially "meat").

A veggie in the sausage race? Let's add some tofu and sprouts while we're at it. Maybe in California, but not in Milwaukee. Give me meat, beer and a cigar anytime. Having this "green" crap constantly getting shoved down my throat is getting really annoying and old. While I recycled and considered my environmentally conscious way before it was fashionable, I'm now getting sick of it.
