Real Girls Eat Whatever They Want

Photograph from Just Jared In response to Jessica Simpson's meat-lovin' t-shirt—now available through the 23rd from Primehouse New York—PETA came up with "Top Five Reasons Only Stupid Girls Brag About Eating Meat." It's nothing we haven't heard from PETA before; the reasons are generally valid warnings about breast cancer and the environment, couched in PETA's typical propaganda rhetoric. But reason number four, "Meat will make you fat", is just plain offensive—especially since the post described Simpson as best known for "her ability to proportionately fill out daisy dukes" and expressed hope that "the upcoming 'Jessica Simpson's Intimates' line comes in plus sizes." Excuse me, PETA, but whether we choose to eat a nice juicy steak or a big bowl of...

PETA, feeling the need to educate, couldn't help but mail Clemens a care package of vegan treats, including vegan chocolate bars and faux beef jerky. Which I'm sure turned him around....

Cocoa Puffs: Gateway Drug to Veganism

PETA has created a guide to vegan foods found along your local grocery store's aisles called I Can't Believe It's Vegan. The goal is clearly to make it less painful for people to switch to a vegan diet, but factory-processed foods seem like they'd be far worse, both for the planet and for humans, than humanely raised animals.

Celebrate National Hot Dog Day with Soy

What better way to celebrate yesterday's National Hot Dog Day than with...veggie dogs? PETA handed out free Yves veggie dogs outside of the House of Representatives Rayburn building as the the American Meat Institute hosted their Annual Hot Dog Lunch. Two Playboy playmates were also on hand in lettuce bikinis to help promote a non-meat eating lifestyle. I can't say they'd influence my meat-loving ways, but maybe a few lobbyists became vegetarians for a day....
