EGGS and Bacon Bay by any other name would smell as sweet.Animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has called on the Huon Valley Council to change the name of Eggs and Bacon Bay to a more vegan alternative.The group has proposed “Apple and Cherry Bay” as a replacement, to promote the region’s local industry.PETA Australia associate director of campaigns Ashley Fruno said the group hoped the change would highlight to Huon Valley residents the need to avoid animal-derived foods.“Considering the high levels of cholesterol and saturated fat in both eggs and bacon, the area may as well be called ‘Heart Attack Bay’,” she said.“The Huon Valley is famous for its delectable apples and cherries, so we are asking the council ... ‘Where’s the fruit?’, in the hope that it will apply to change the name to ‘Apple and Cherry Bay’.”Huon Valley residents stand to receive vegan apple pies if the name change is adopted.In a letter to Huon Valley Mayor Peter Coad, Ms Fruno said Tasmania has the highest rate of lap-band surgery in Australia, and 93 per cent of people did not eat enough fruit and vegetables.“Reminding residents to stay away from cholesterol- and fat-laden bacon and eggs and instead to eat the fresh plant produce of the Huon Valley might be just what the doctor ordered,” she wrote.The Huon Valley Council has been contacted for comment.
