The Colorado Department of Revenue rejected a woman's request for a license plate professing her love of tofu. Kelley Coffman-Lee requested a personalized plate with the phrase "ILVTOFU."
Coffman-Lee said she has been a vegetarian for 13 years and a vegan for the past four. "I love tofu; it doesn't mean anything bad," Coffman-Lee said of her license plate request. "I'm very expressive, I'm anti-fur, anti-rodeo, anti-circus when they come to Denver and I thought here's a chance to be positive and say I love something."
"Tofu is a word, I haven't said anything bad. I think it's crazy they denied it," she said. "It's not a dirty, evil food. It's very wholesome."
Mark Couch, spokesman for Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles, defended the decision to reject the plate. "We have nothing bad to say about (Coffman-Lee's) love of tofu," he said. "We're concerned about others who may misread the plate."
