This is from a hardcore animal rights site. They don’t find animal consumption funny. I wish it was a joke.

Someone else must have heard this quote, someone beyond hardcore animal rightsers.

Otherwise, this is fake.

Nikki Benoit, Outreach Coordinator for Florida Voices for Animals, attended an Obama speech at St. Pete Gibbs High last week and was delighted to hear him discuss the environment, factory farming, and children getting more nutritious food in schools. She was also ecstatic that he could pronounce “vegan.”

“As I was being handed the mic, Obama read my shirt out loud - “Vegan Outreach” . . . . .YES!!! HE DID!!! AND…he pronounced it RIGHT!!!”
