Don’t get me wrong. I have no objection to anyone choosing to be a vegetarian, a Vegan, or pro-Ana for that matter. Short of cannibalism by murder, everyone should eat — and not eat — whatever they want to.I was married to a vegetarian and was a vegetarian, myself for five years — after my divorce. I even wrote an article in 1986 regarding my ignored suggestions to McDonalds and Burger King that they could get customers like me in — who wasn’t frequenting their fine establishments because nothing was offered for my wife — by putting veggie patties on their menu.
But PETA is going typically off the rails with its new campaign to target celebrities who eat meat, in the same way these extremists previously attacked celebrities who wear fur or leather. Making Jessica Simpson their first celebrity target because she sported a T-shirt that reads, “Real Girls Eat Meat” — which if you’re dirty-minded like me doesn’t necessarily even refer to consuming animal products and by-products – is a Lake Pontchartrain Causeway too far.
PETAfeds don’t just eat nuts — they are nuts.
Vegetarians who morally condemn meat hate nature. They megalomanically claim for themselves a Godlike superiority based on the pathetic fallacy that non-reasoning creatures are as capable of experiencing suffering as self-conscious beings capable of nostalgia, dread, and charity. They have no logical objection to a wolf killing and eating a sheep, or a lion stalking and killing a gazelle for food, but they fancy themselves morally superior to a human hunter shooting and eating a stag. It’s not that these insufferable busybodies love animals. It’s that they hate their own species, which nature has given a reasoning power they have failed to master.

The only known cure for PETAphilia is STEAK!
PETA is nothing more or less than a terrorist organization.
I had a veggie-burger at Burger King once.
Even with bacon and cheese it tasted vile.
Scratch a Liberal and you’ll find a Totalitarian.
>> I had a veggie-burger at Burger King once.
For heaven’s sake, why? I don’t even eat vegetarian salads.
PETA are an amusing sideshow, nothing more. I see no need to take them any more seriously than I take the radical feminists or Amy Goodman.

Why? To see the reaction of the kid at the counter when I placed the order (no indication that he saw anything out-of-the-ordinary), and to provide the makings of an amusing story.
A reasonable explanation, I suppose. Not sure I’d sacrifice a n actual meal for that mild amusement ... but to each his own.
From what I understand, veggie burgers are pretty revolting. Vegans are truly nuts ... cut meat and dairy out of my diet, and I’ll die of malnutrition. A man cannot survive on Coke and mustard sandwiches alone.

>> Give me an island, a full slab of beef ribs and a cooler full of drinks and I’ll be happy. The woman is optional. ;-)
I was with you there, right until the end. Also, I’m amenable to pork ribs, steak, chicken wings, and various other fried or grilled carcasses.
I’m afraid the woman will be necessary, however. I’m not going to get up and walk to the cooler myself — and she might come in handy later. I shall not elaborate an further.
Also ... I’d prefer it if the island had cable television.

I expected this moment throughout the entire Clinton Administration.

We were made to hunt and made to eat meat. It is widely excepted that when man started to eat meat he became more productive and accomplished more because he didn't have to spend all day, every day eating simply to stay alive. Vegetarian animals do just that.
Eat constantly in order to keep up their energy, meat supplies that energy and allows more free time to think about things. Chimpanzees eat meat and are probably among the most intelligent of the great apes. They hunt down and kill other primates, including the occasional human babies.
Not that I condone eating babies, before some jackass tries to comment on that. I do however condone eating meat, or veggies, if that is what you prefer, and I prefer meat.
I thought PETA ment People Eating Tasty Animals. Give me a slab of ribs and I will do anything you want.
I’d prefer my wife — having been able to view the merchandise. But, if its going to be Jessica Simpson, she’s going to need a mute button.
Also another reason for the female presence ... somebody’s going to have to cook this stuff — and I can’t make anything but hot dogs, hot pockets and pop tarts.
If there’s no woman, I’m going to need a microwave ... and additional, less clothed, channels on cable.
Like Foxworthy said ... you never need to ask a man what he’s thinking, because odds are, he’s thinking “I’d like a beer, and I’d like to see something naked.”

When I was Chairman of the College Republicans at the University of Houston ... we had a cookout with exactly that title.
It was organized by our social committee — the UHCR Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

PETA kills animals.
Since 1998, PETA has killed 83.9% of all animals it has taken in at it’s Norfolk VA headquarters.
In 2006, PETA took in 3,016 animals. Of that 12 were adopted, and 46 were transferred to other shelters. The remaining 97.4% were killed
In 2007, they only killed off 90.9% of the 1,997 animals they took in.
