Ashley Byrne of PETA insists that, despite the objections from passerbys (particularly with children) this was a perfectly appropriate: “This weekend is Valentine’s Day, so it is a great time to get the point across that vegetarians have lower rates of impotence and this is also a great way to show off what a healthy vegetarian body looks like.”
Of course, there are an array of meat eating vegetarian bodies that are shown regularly in such moments by the porn industry. PETA’s production of Debbie Does Debbie continues PETA’s efforts to secure a position on the most marginalized fringe. The group undermines other serious groups may portraying animal rights groups as outside of the mainstream and unhinged.
I understand that being a vegetarian may make you a better lover but does it also make you more obnoxious . . . or is that just PETA vegetarians?
