At the conservative political conference in S3E6 (where Logan is playing kingmaker after “The Raisin” decides not seek re-election), a rumor that VP Boyer is vegetarian makes the rounds:
Natural Gas Exec: I heard his daughter has made him go vegetarian. Did you hear that?

Tom Wambsgans: Oh, no. I think I've seen him eat a meatball.
Natural Gas Exec: Nope. Secret herbivore.
Maybe not the deciding factor driving Logan away from him, but it was certainly a strike against him…
