While I certainly sympathize with the premise that fat-shaming is an inappropriate ad tactic, and have no love for PETA, I strenuously object to the language describing Christian Serratos as “excruciatingly thin” in her “I’d rather go naked” photo shoot. Serratos looks perfectly healthy; certainly she looks curvier naked than I do, and with a BMI of 21, I’m well within the healthy range of 18.5-25. Please keep in mind that there’s a wide range of healthy body types, and conflating anorexia with natural slimness does nothing to promote healthy eating habits, whether vegetarian or otherwise. Serratos bears no resemblance to the emaciated figure you have heading this article, any more than a healthy woman of BMI 25 would to a morbidly obese woman.

Very nice piece of writing. A good balanced look at the facts I tell you what. Beef is good. Oprah can say what she wants, but face it. We all know Oprah throws down on some Quarter Pounders and shes no less rich for it. She is still glamorous. You can keep your knock-kneed bimbos. I’ll take my women like Flo Jo! GO BEEF!

The old adage is follow the money and PETA has proven to be a very successful money raiser which I am sure is a motivator for the kinds of PR campaigns they engage in. And you’ve hit the nail on the head with your statement about prioritizing the “rights” of animals over humans. I am a major puppy lover and I had a favorite cow as a child, but I knew if my family was hungry, the cow was going to go, even though I had hoped they’d take my brother out first…. another story. Suffice to say, we need to be conscientious stewards of the planet, including the plant and animal life, and PETA’s tabloid-style campaigns don’t seem to me to be helpful in elevating the discussion. Your post here, Ashley, is a much more informed presentation….

Yeah, you start to wonder after awhile what PETA is trying to accomplish and why…
