Default Oh, brother (I roll my eyes)

The morons at PETA have rolled out Veg Eye for the Fat Guy (he=20
http://goveg.com/feat/vegeye2/ ) targeting Ruben Studdard, Luciano=20
Pavarotti, Michael Moore, John Goodman, and John Madden.

Earth to PETA: it is possible to be fat and vegetarian. Don't they know=20
any fat guy vegetarians? I could introduce them to some...

Here's part of what they have to say:

These lucky stars will be receiving PETA's "Veg Eye" makeover kit,
including copies of PETA's vegetarian starter kit, which is
chock-full of easy tips on how to switch from meaty to meatless; The
PETA Celebrity Cookbook, which makes vegetarian cooking super simple;
and samples of delicious, low-fat vegetarian food, including "fib
ribs," "fakin' bacon," and Tofurky.
=20
Why is PETA hoping to discourage husky hunks from hankering after
hamburgers? The standard American diet of meat, dairy products, and
eggs =97 all of which are packed with cholesterol and saturated fat =97
has produced a nation that's bulging at the seams. An alarming report
in the October 16 edition of The Washington Post concerning a
comprehensive clinical study of obesity referred to America's
"obesity epidemic" and cited a four-fold increase in severe obesity
since 1986.
=20
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cured ham," says PETA's
Veg Eye guy, Bruce Friedrich. "It takes a big man to admit that he
needs to be a thinner man, and going vegetarian is one of the
easiest, most healthful ways to stay slim."

Enroll a Flabby Friend in the Veg Eye Invitational Do you have a
chubby chum in need of a refrigerator redux? Click here and we'll
rush your big-boned buddy a free Veg Pledge pack chock full of
recipes and coupons. Isn't fat ... er ... that ... what friends are
for?


Uh, no, PETA, friends are for loving you unconditionally and helping you=20
hide bodies of annoying do-gooders. Didn't anyone tell you that?

And again with the fake "obesity epidemic." I'm surprised they didn't=20
trot out that fake "300,000 deaths a year from obesity" statistic.

And if they're ****ing *me* off, with all the tofu in my refrigerator (I=20
have a vegetarian in the house and I skip eating meat several times a=20
week), they're probably ****ing off a lot of other people.

I'm surprised they didn't target Penn Gillette. On a recent episode of=20
Penn & Teller's BULL****, they came up with proof of hypocrisy,=20
following the paper trail to the door of the commercial refrigerator=20
PETA uses to store the animal bodies they kill. Yes, good old PETA kills=20
animals. I bet folks that gave $$ to PETA are surprised it was used to=20
kill animals.
