Austin Firemen Fight Fires As Well As Cholesterol
When you think of firefighters, you probably think of big, burly men with big, meat-filled appetites hiking up ladders, wheeling out hoses and sliding down poles. . That’s pretty much true for Engine Co. #2 in Austin except for the meat devouring part. You see this local fire fighting company have gone vegetarian. That’s right, they have gone the way of the veg.
After Specialist, James Rae was diagnosed with high cholesterol; he devoted himself to eating healthier and encouraged his fellow firemen to do the same. Now this little engine company from Austin is taking healthy eating one step further by posting on their website (http://www.engine2.org/) health related articles, vegetarian recipes and helpful online tools to help people eat healthier. So, next time you’re around Austin and see a fire engine drive by, think of engine Company #2 and maybe a nice juicy flame-broiled veggie burger for lunch.
