With the NFL season in full swing, Peope for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has released its annual ranking of teams doing the best job of satisfying their fans' growing hunger for healthy, humane, and Earth-friendly vegetarian options. With more delicious vegetarian food available at sporting events than ever before, the animal-friendly org has had to double its list of winners. Among the stadiums that made the cut - M&T Bank Stadium, home of the Baltimore Ravens.
Ravens fans have their choice of many meat-, dairy-, and egg-free options (some of which are available only in premium or club seating areas), including meatless burgers, crudit�s, vegetable wraps, vegetable burritos, hummus, and fresh fruit.
"Ravens fans love defense, and there's no better way to defend animals from abuse while defending yourself from heart disease and obesity than to go vegan,"says PETA Director Dan Shannon. "The best way for people to sack potential health problems and hit pay dirt for animals and the environment is to choose vegan foods every chance they get."
Taking first place is Oakland�Alameda County Coliseum, home of the Oakland Raiders, whose spicy Tex-Mex burrito clinched the win. TheSan Francisco 49ers' Candlestick Park came in a close second.
Rounding out the top 10 are the Green Bay Packers' Lambeau Field, the University of Phoenix Stadium home to the Arizona Cardinals, Cleveland Browns Stadium, the Minnesota Vikings' Metrodome, the Georgia Dome homefied for the Atlanta Falcons, the Pittsburgh Steelers' Heinz Field, and Qualcomm Stadium home of the San Diego Chargers.
