I’m not surprised by anything PETA does anymore:
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has started taking “bets” on its website over when Sen. Charles Grassley will die, after the Iowa Republican scolded the Department of Agriculture for advocating a vegetarian diet.
The USDA drew the ire of rural state lawmakers over a newsletter urging department employees to embrace “Meatless Mondays.” The USDA later retracted the newsletter and said it wasn’t properly vetted, but Grassley vented on Twitter that he plans to “eat more meat on Monday to compensate for stupid USDA recommendation.”
PETA, on its website, accused Grassley of fighting for Americans’ right to be “sick and fat.”
“We’re taking bets (place yours in the comments section below) on how long it will take Sen. Grassley to succumb to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or some other meat-related disease,” the post said.
Also more junk science from the PETArds. Yeah because my 90-year-old Grandmother shouldn’t be alive because she smoked, drank, and eats meat, and all vegetarians are the picture of perfect helth.
Keep barking PETA, we’d hate for anybody to get the wrong opinion that you’re sane.
You mean vegetarians not veterinarians, and health not help, right? You been hitting the bum wine again Weer’d?
LOL, no just butchered the spelling and was sloppy with the spell check! 8)
They say this like he should be ashamed of standing up for liberty.
Anti-freedom! “Progressives” hate freedom!
Also they hate honesty, as vegetarians get just as fat, and just as sick as comparable meat eaters. If you eat meat as part of a balanced diet, but eat in responsible portions and get ample exercise, and take care of yourself by avoiding health risks like excessive smoking drinking and drugs, you will be just as healthy as a similar vegetarian…possibly more simply because there are a few bottlenecks for vegetarians in getting some some essential nutrients without eating animal matter.
And if you eat like a slob, don’t eat a balanced diet, don’t exercise, and smoke and drink like a fiend, it doesn’t matter one whit if you have a animal matter in your diet.
“And if you eat like a slob, don’t eat a balanced diet, don’t exercise, and smoke and drink like a fiend, it doesn’t matter one whit if you have a animal matter in your diet.”
That’s odd, I don’t even recall when we met, yet you seem to remember me quite well.
Diabetes? Really? They’re going to pin diabetes on meat too? What’s next, airplane crashes?
Well there are links to Obesity and diabetes….but of course Soda and potato chips are vegetarian, and those are a much bigger risk of causing an insulin spike than a nice pork chop.
Funny, I’ve lost 40 pounds in four months by not eating all the filler crap- just meat, nuts and vegetables.
Vilsack will do anything progressive that he can get away with, especially if it has nothing to do with his job.
