Any news about PETA usually makes me roll my eyes, but for once, I think they're on to something. Rather than lathering in terrible logic and alienating those they want to convert, they've grabbed the wonderful Cloris Leachman and gone fancy.
That picture to the right, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, presents Ms. Leachman in a ball gown of lettuce with the catch-phrase "Let Vegetarianism Grow on You."
It's not really the sort of image that will inspire masses to put down the bacon and grab a head of lettuce, but it is a fabulous picture.
I think it's time to put the babies aside and dress more women in greenery ... as long as PETA is prepared for me to admire the pics whilst eating a medium-rare burger.

I don't see a pressing need to swear off the stuff completely, but it's better for your health and for the environment to consume fewer animal products. I eat meat about once a week, and make a point to only buy meat from small, certified humane farms, or sustainable seafood. Making fun of PETA is all well and good, but I wish there were other organizations advocating a sensible diet that had as much name-recognition as PETA. The "PETA is just crazy; I can eat as much meat as I want and never question it!" mindset is not accurate or helpful.
