A Message for PETA

You are rude, madam. Stop going after people in your usual self-aggrandizing way. You remind me of sheep people who have recently found religion and feel it is their sole duty to convert everyone lest they perish in the flames of hell for all eternity.

PETA (which everyone knows, as my little Ranito pointed out to me, means: People for the Evil Terrorization of Americans) president, Ingrid Newkirk, says in this letter to Michael Moore that: “Although we think that your film could actually help reform America’s sorely inadequate health care system, there’s an elephant in the room, and it is you. With all due respect, no one can help but notice that a weighty health issue is affecting you personally. We’d like to help you fix that. Going vegetarian is an easy and life-saving step that people of all economic backgrounds can take in order to become less reliant on the government’s shoddy healthcare system, and it’s something that you and all Americans can benefit from personally.”


She goes on to say: "Yes, America’s health care system needs to be fixed, but personal responsibility is a big part of why people look and feel as ill as they do."

While personal responsibility is just that, it still does not give you the right to attack a person based on their physical appearance. I think you need to take a revised look at what the word ethical means and apply it to your fellow man.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to use those eternal flames from hell to cook up some nice juicy steaks for me and mine. Feel free to join us ... you know you want it...

Mmm… animal protein.

I always love how this is couched under the guise of concern, too. She's only attacking Michael Moore's weight because she's concerned about him. Bullshit. I just had this argument with someone on my blog yesterday, and she couldn't figure out why I was so offended. She genuinely thought anyone who "wanted" to be fat was morally weak, disgusting, and had no control over their own bodies.

What's disgusting is bigotry directed at people just because they have unfortunate health.

Perception of overweight people in America is disgusting. Not everyone is meant to be a "small" size. And it HAS been medically proven that overweight people are not necessarily unhealthy. "Skinny, healthy" people DO get and have the same health issues that most associate with the "heavy."
