Olympic medalist and vegan Dotsie Bausch has just made a personal appeal to Papa John’s CEO John Schnatter, a fellow cyclist from her hometown of Louisville, KY, to add vegan cheese to the pizza giant’s menu. Join her today by tweeting @IAmPapaJohn! Cyclist extraordinaire Dotsie, who also founded Compassion Champs to advocate for “Olympic-Level Compassion” for animals, knows that cows suffer a heartbreaking cycle of cruelty in the dairy industry, as Compassion Over Killing’s recent investigation of Mason Dixon Dairy revealed. So Dotsie penned a letter to Schnatter, writing, “Everyone, hungry athletes included, craves a slice of cheesy, gooey pizza from time to time. But I—along with millions of other Americans—fuel my body with plant protein, and I hope you’ll consider adding vegan cheese to your menu so we can all enjoy Papa John’s pizza.” Dotsie further notes that athletes—from fellow Olympian Carl Lewis, to ultra-marathon runner Rich Roll and champion surfer Tia Blanco—are proving that we can thrive without milk from cows. If Papa John’s caught up with pizza chains like Mellow Mushrooms and Pieology that already offer dairy-free cheese, it would make compassionate plant-based eating more accessible to MILLIONS of people. Help Dotsie achieve this Olympic-sized victory for cows and consumers: Tweet @IAmPapaJohn and ask for vegan cheese at Papa John’s today!
