We remember this absurd image of the American president organizing a fast-food buffet in a luxurious living room of the White House for the Clemson Tigers, winners of the college football championship. Undoubtedly, Donald Trump is not a foodie and the nutritional and ecological issues of food seem to get over him.
This is where the Million Dollar Vegan NGO hits hard. After challenging Pope Francis last February, the organization turned to the United States. His goal ? "Make America Healthy Again" - a cover of Donald Trump's now famous campaign slogan - by getting its president to adopt a vegan diet and promote it to his fellow citizens for 30 days.
It was Evan, 9, president of Animal Hero Kids and Million Dollar Vegan Ambassador, who challenged Donal Trump. If he accepts, a check for $ 1 million will be returned to veterans. The president has until December 31 to make his response known.
The situation of the veterans in the United States is a subject very mobilizing and particularly dear to the president who declared on the occasion of the D-Day landings of June 6, 1944: "You are truly among the greatest Americans who have ever existed. You are the pride of the nation. You are the glory of our Republic and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. "
However, veterans are not happy. In addition to the memory of their difficult years on the front lines, many return home heavily marked physically or psychologically and struggle to reintegrate into society. As a result, poverty and a record suicide rate (7,000 per year) plague their lives.
Dropping animal protein for a month seems like a small sacrifice to show your support. Will Trump rise to the challenge?
