Veggie Pride Parade urges 'Give Peas a Chance'

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK -- The veggies your mom implored you to eat are getting their own
celebration in New York City: The Veggie Pride Parade.

Rain or shine, the parade is expected to wend its way through Manhattan's old
meatpacking district on Sunday before ending at Washington Square Park.

Along the route, costumed bride and groom Penelo Pea Pod and Chris P. Carrot
will exchange veggie vows and ask observers to "Give Peas a Chance" and "Go
Vegetarian!"

Parade organizer Pamela Rice says the mission of the parade is to promote
vegan and vegetarian lifestyles and the ethical treatment of animals. It was
inspired by a similar parade in Paris, France.
