If U.S. Sen. Cory Booker wins the White House in 2020, he’d make history as the first vegan elected U.S. president.
The New Jersey Democrat recently told VegNews that he started experimenting with a vegetarian diet around 1992 and then eliminated dairy foods as well, making his diet completely animal-free.
“I remember my last non-vegan meal was Election Day, November 2014,” Booker, a former mayor of Newark, N.J., told the news outlet.
These days, Booker says, we may all be heading toward a vegan diet because, in his view, is not sustainable in the future.
