PETA Kids

here are some quotes from the website:

PETAKids.com

Eating meat causes cancer, heart disease, and strokes.

PETAKids.com

A high cholesterol level means your arteries are full of gunk, which can be scary because it can cause a heart attack. The best way to keep your cholesterol down and to help your heart is to go vegetarian—it’s even called “The Healthy Heart Diet.”

PETAKids.com

If you eat hamburgers, you may as well let your faucets drip 24 hours a day.

The best thing to do for the environment is to go vegetarian!

WHY!?!?!??!!

Actually, that thing about hamburgers is kinda true. Cows take up a LOT of drinking water, like kind of an absurd amount, actually, while they make a bunch of methane gas that supposedly causes like 20% of global warming or something.

Having said that, I just ate two hamburgers today, and I will eat two more tonight because I get freaking ill unless I eat meat. And I hate PETA a little bit, even though I'm a big hippie on the inside.

I also don't see whats wrong with the second quote, because that's totally true. Um. The first one is a bit over-dramatic, though, I will agree.

I just don't think that it's okay to guilt trip CHILDREN into not eating Bessie.

I am also going to eat a hamburger tonight. Mostly because it is the only delicious food I have in the house.

Eating meat causes cancer, heart disease, and strokes.

Is that so. It doesn't have anything to do with junk food, and lack of excersise, and chemicals in and on everthing then? Or what about the pesticids on many fruits and vegtables being linked to a host of diseases and behavioral issues? I know you can buy organic but that usually means upping the pricetag and people are on budgets.

At to hamburgers, yes we eat to much beef in this country (see Carnemire's mention of methane, and have you seen some of those stockyards. It's kind of nauseating) but that doesn't mean I think we should just stop eating it. And what do they suggest we do with all of the intended food stock when we all turn vegatarian anyway?

Peta's a bunch of veggifundie a**holes.

I think they want the cows to go FREE AND LIVE IN NATURE WITH THE SEA KITTENS. But yeah, I think that heart disease and all that crap is linked more with unhealthy habits, like lack of exorcise and fatty, processed foods than meat. I mean, remember the Atkins diet? That was like, a meat diet, (i.e. a low-carb diet) and it helped a lot of people get healthier. Like my dad.

And as for not brainwashing kids: we're like, brainwashed from the womb these days. If you watch TV, ever, you're getting brainwashed. If you look at any advertising, or watch pundits or read the paper or go to religious or political organizations (or don't, even, and talk about why you don't with other people) in some respect you're probably getting brainwashed a little bit.

The only thing to do, really, is just make sure your kids have all the facts to make thoughtful decisions.

Oh my god! that is just to f***ing funny! i mean seriously, are they trying to turn our future generation into a vegan nation? food's no good unless you have some meat in there

There's no way I could give up meat. I just ate some steak for dinner tonight, and I would seriously go mad if I became a veggie-only eater... I just get cranky!

Kids: YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YOU DON'T EAT CHO MEAT!! HOW CAN YOU HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YOU DON'T EACTCHO MEAT?!?!
