Bringin' Home the Bacon, Vegan-Style

Presidential Candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, Fundraises Without the Pork

"The omelet is soy and tofu-based. Most of the egg stuff that we do is soy-based. We make cheeses that actually melt and whipped cream that actually whips," Anderson explained.

Anderson has been a vegetarian for over 20 years and vegan for seven years. His restaurant is the first upscale 100 percent vegan restaurant in the Los Angeles area and he says it has a lot to do with his philosophy: "Eating is one of the great pleasures in life. You shouldn't have to give up what you like to be vegan."

The vegan presidential candidate and supporters don't eat much meat, but they're finding innovative ways to enjoy bringing home the bacon.
