Fat people ought to be ashamed. They’re lazy and self-indulgent. Good for PETA.

Oh that did it for me, at 50 I am going to stop eating meat and lose weight so I can wear that bikini because PETA called me a whale. Thanks PETA. I’m wondering when you shifted your focus from saving animals to fighting obesity in the US.

Putting down my fork with medium rare prime rib now. You believe me don’t you?

I was a vegetarian for 4 years in junior high/high school…. I did that as a choice on my own…. mainly just because my dad is a big meat eater…. and I was just getting sick of the taste of meat…. I actually GAINED weight as a vegetarian and end up feeling WORSE because there were certain nutrients that I was unaware I was lacking. I became anemic for a long time… which I didn’t think could happen because I was eating a lot of dark, leafy green veggies which contain a lot of iron… but my doctors said that I was still having iron deficiencies. How I gained weight while I was a vegetarian and playing tennis and riding my bicycle EVERYWHERE when I was a teenager, I’m not sure of the answer to…. but I know that for me…. being vegetarian royally SCREWED my immune system and my overall well being. I ended up being overweight AND malnourished.

Maybe for some people its a great LIFE CHANGING decision… for me, it ended up being otherwise. I thought at first maybe it was just because I wasn’t used to this “NEW” way of eating… but in 4 years that should have gone away.

Fact of the matter is… PETA is just another extremist group. I’m totally for the ethical treatment of animals. I LOVE and respect them…. when I see someone who has a yard on a major road, with no fence, and small animals…. I feel everyday that if I see one of their dogs on the side of the road, dead, that I should make them run out into the road not knowing when something much larger and faster than them is going to take them out…. but the fact is, that I don’t actually do it.

The ASPCA is a GREAT group. They actually do more than just stand around with signs bitching all day at people…. the ASPCA actually gets out there and PROSECUTES animal abusers, then they take those animals to their no-kill shelters and they nurture them back to health and they find homes for as many as they can. They are a DECENT, RESPECTABLE non-extremist group.

I do NOT condone hunting for sport…. or really hunting for any matter… but there are people out there that actually make their livings as farmers…. in places where farming is the only thing they CAN do….. so to force the entire world to be vegetarian… first of all will NEVER work, and second of all… will cause a lot of families to not be able to provide for their families. Not everyone has the privilege of working in a big city where they can have an office job…. or even an oh-so-lucrative (sarcasm) career in retail… its just NOT always an option.

GET OVER YOURSELVES YOU POMPOUS BASTARDS AT PETA. WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN DIETS…. leave eveyone else alone and &%*$ off!!!!

Now I really know that PETA has lost their complete sense. I really thought it was lost with the “don’t kill the fly” rally they did but now – I realize that I haven’t met very many happy PETA people, may be if they actually loved all beings (human and animal) they would be a better people. I agree with the previous comments only to include the activist type breastfeeding women….some of the most mean spirited people I have ever met in my entire life AND all with the pretense of doing something good. If you can’t do something good without being angry at people who don’t agree with you….are you really happy??

I’ve found that most vegetarians are 90% more irritating than ex-smokers that get in your face every time you light up. The one vegan I almost started dating years ago ended up being the most plastic, fake and two-faced moron. He’d probably like this campaign, because he more or less preached it to me when it came to my weight. It was a disgusting example of pomposity and false “I love everyone” mentality.

Anyone backing this ad up on their principles of vegetarianism/animal rights needs a wake-up call. You don’t have the right to go after other people–especially people you don’t know–and say, “You are wrong and ugly, because you don’t do as I do.” I think most veggies should stop what they’re doing and admit that they began a veggie-life because it made them feel superior to others, and criminy, doesn’t it feel good?

Promote your cause. Educate people. I’m down with that. Throwing THIS crap out onto a billboard? It’s not going to do you any damned good. I’m just about ready to flip of the screen and make a big, juicy free-range beef steak.

Peta believes in getting their point across no matter who they harm. I was not surprised in the least by the tasteless ignorant ad. When are they going to learn, you can not make people do what you want them to do, rather than what the person feels and believes is the right thing to do?

I do have an idea, Peta should tackle childrens issues and maybe their terrorist ways will help a child who requires assistance.
