I wish I was making this up. But I have to say I've not stopped laughing since I saw this news piece about the PETA bill boards in Jacksonville Florida that targets overweight women.

It's just... heh. Well have a look see for yourself.
I'm off now to go eat a HUGE piece of steak. I'm following that up with some chicken, and perhaps even a pork chop.
Happy to be an omnivore...

Yeah, cause it's the MEAT that makes me fat, not the ENTIRE BAG OF DORITOS!
F--- PETA. :grumble:0 -
How many of us are out their eating Whale Meat??????:ohwell:0

Very disrespectful, but that's PETA for you. Remember when they handed out anti-milk pamphlets with false claims in them to school children? I'm all for treating animals well, but my donations go to the SPCA. And if I need advice what to eat, I'll ask a Registered Dietitian.0

LOL... I got my husband a t-shirt for Christmas that said ... PETA (People for the Eating of Tasty Animals). On the back, it says "I love cats, I just can't eat a whole one by myself"
So politically incorrect, but oh so funny. We can get away with it here, but I wouldn't want to wear it in a bigger city, I'd probably get my butt kicked. I love at the end of the video when the guy is talking about t-rexes and brontosaurs... LOL0 -
I am with ya on that one. I am having pork loins for dinner tonite. Yumy!!! :bigsmile:0

Yet another reason to not support them
Time for a nice, big juicy steak.0 -
I haven't seen the video yet. I'll have to wait util I go on my lunch break cause I'm at work. But this is the way I feel about eating meat. God gave us permission to eat meat so I'm gonna eat meat.0

PETA are a group of shock jocks who will never be taken seriously! I think most vegetarians are trying to do something good for health and the environment and I feel they're to be applauded. PETA just destroys all of the hard work of more discrete vegetarians who often have a valid point. Compassionate carnivores is a movement gaining momentum and I think that's the way to go!0

PS Fox news is a f**king joke! Was this "news" aired before or after Britney's latest meltdown?0

Oh my gosh! You made my conspiracy theory fetish kick in!! Now I'm wondering if the real purpose of PETA is to do the opposite of what they say they want to do!!!
Hee hee. This kind of thing just amuses me to no end. I like that. Compassionate Carnivores. Cause I love animals - I have four big rescued dogs to prove it. They eat meet too!0 -

As a firm believer in the value of the food chain, I would have to agree that Compassionate Carnivores is the way to go. Killing an animal for human sustenance = okay. Animal cruelty to line pockets and save time = not okay. :frown:0 -
I can't stand Peta people
Now they are going crazy in Philly because of the Mike Vick signing0 -
Wow, if they only knew how many vegans were on here trying to lose weight :laugh:.
I'm all for a vegan lifestyle but it's hardly a means to not become overweight.0 -
This has me LMAO!!!!
Yep I think it's time for some steak!0 -

That is disrespectful to Tim McLean, his family, and humankind.0 -

I have no problem with them upset about the Michael Vick issue. I think THAT is what they should stand for!!
But having a problem with people for eating livestock raised to be made into ground chuck? Nope -- get over it.0 -
I don't always agree with PETA. But every once in a while they are right. KFC shouldn't torture chickens. And I'm still mad at Micheal Vick- I don't think a million dollar contract is the right thing to offer him- especially considering that he will be a role model for many, and has behaved so poorly...
The ad doesn't make me want to eat steak, I'm a pescatarian (fish only for me!) and it can be insulting- and factually incorrect- but it's not worse than plenty of other advertising that suggests a way to lose weight. Plenty of ads are derogatory toward heavy people, PETA is not alone there. Whale is not a nice word, but plenty of ads aren't nice. The real sickening one is the one some how connected to the murder of a human being. That's just ugly.0
