Thanks to Say Anything For this:

PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has turned its righteous wrath on a new target. They’ve discovered that Jessica Simpson is, brace yourself - steady now, a meat eater:

Animal rights protesters have launched a series of angry campaigns against A-list carnivores. They are shifting their focus from celebrities who wear fur to others who encourage the “exploitation” of animals by eating them. In its latest campaign, Peta – People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which became infamous for dousing fur-wearers in red paint – has launched an attack on the singer Jessica Simpson.

Ms Simpson was singled out for ridicule after she was spotted wearing a T-shirt bearing the slogan “Real Girls Eat Meat”, believed to be a light-hearted dig at her boyfriend

Want to see the mindset of those folks in a nutshell? Check out this revealing statement:

Alistair Currie, a spokesman for Peta, said: “Jessica Simpson might have a right to wear what she wants, but she doesn’t have a right to eat what she wants – eating meat is about suffering and death. Some people feel like they are standing up against a tide of political correctness when they make a statement like this – what she is really doing is standing up for the status quo.”

Doesn’t have the right to eat what she wants? Er, ‘scuse me, but, yes, she does.

These people are dangerous.

By the way, it’s Sunday. That means I’ll most likely be plopping a ginormous slab of ribeye steak on the grill here in a little while, which I will lustily devour seared on the outside, red and moist on the inside, dripping with juices.

Just thought any PETA types out there might like to have a visual of that.
