Perennial presidential candidate, Dennis Kucinich, is being treated for food poisoning at a Cleveland-area hospital after becoming ill Sunday night while flying from Cleveland to a Florida campaign appearance. He was admitted to a local hospital on Monday upon his return from the event.

The Democratic Congressional Representative from Cleveland, Ohio’s 10th District — the fightin’ 10th —  doesn’t know how he contracted food poisoning but expects to recover fully and return to work in the next few days.

According to wiki, Kucinich has the distinction of being the only vegan in Congress. He has maintained a diet for many years that excludes animal products in accordance with his conviction that "all life on our Earth [is] sacred."

Kucinich also states on his campaign website that he encourages independent, family-owned, and organic farming, which would help lead to "the meat that we consume coming from happy and healthy free-range animals."
