They have got to be kidding. It's like they're not even trying to pretend to have anything to do with animal rights anymore. [link]
The activist group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA gathered in Downtown El Paso Thursday, and it had many people turning out to see what was going on.
However, instead of finding anything animal-related, El Pasoans found two half-dressed women on a blow-up mattress, French kissing. It had people snapping shots with their phones and cameras, but beyond the shock value, PETA promised there was a message.
"This weekend is Valentine's Day, so it is a great time to get the point across that vegetarians have lower rates of impotence and this is also a great way to show off what a healthy vegetarian body looks like," said Ashley Byrne of PETA.
Also, I've been vegetarian for close to 15 years and my body looks nothing like that.
So why were they wearing gloves and socks?
The 8 years I was a vegetarian I gained more weight than any other time in my life. And that was with walking an hour a day, 7 days a week, and regular gym workouts.
These days I'm sacrificing cows and chickens in the hope of saving my knees.
“Learn more about how delicious and easy a vegetarian lifestyle is," Byrne said.
I swear, the first time I read that, the word "lifestyle" was invisible.
PETA is insane. I can't even pretend to relate. The Klan makes more sense, and I don't say that lightly.
If I want to make a pie, but can't find my second 9 inch pie plate (I know one of them is with Javachik), what is a better alternative--a 9 inch cake pan, or a 10 inch tart pan?
Tart pan, I'd imagine.
Are they both straight-sided, Perkins?
I do seem to lose weight a bit more easily than my non-vegetarian sister, and I've definitely lost a bit of weight the times that I've got vegan for a little while, but I never got anywhere close to looking like those women. I've known vegetarians and vegans with a whole range of body types. (As a vegetarian, it's really easy to fall into the cheesetarian trap, and end up with a pretty high-fat diet. When I actually take the time to cook my own food, rather than ordering in or heating up frozen cheezy things, I lose weight much more quickly.)
Are they both straight-sided, Perkins?
The tart pan is scalloped. It sounds like that's the better choice though, so I will use that.
(sorry, I got called away)
