PETA Blasts Michael Moore's Weight with Trademark Sensitivity
June 26, 2007
PETA has a charming message for Michael Moore: You’re the Sicko, Fatty!
The animal-rights group says the filmmaker is hypocritical for criticizing the U.S. healthcare system in his new documentary, Sicko, because of his unhealthy weight.
“There’s an elephant in the room, and it is you,” PETA president Ingrid Newkirk wrote in a letter to Moore with her trademark sensitivity, urging him to become a vegetarian and drop a few pounds.
Ah... I remember back when I became a vegetarian. I was a 16-year-old bright-eyed champion of animal rights and not so much a fan of beans or peas or broccoli or, well, any vegetables. So I ended up chowing down on ice cream and potato chips -- and gaining 10 pounds. At which point I promptly started eating meat again.
From my lips to Moore's ears, er... I mean, my fingers to Moore's eyes: a vegetarian diet will not necessarily turn you into Jude Law.
And when I'm forced to choose between my beliefs or skinny jeans? Vanity trumps all.

Im a Peta member but sometimes they do go overboard...people need to remember that just because one member says something it doesnt mean we all agree.

At least the PETA people didn't dress up as an 8-foot carrot and terrorize him or blow him up with dynamite.
PETA could use a new publicity department. Their tactics suck. Sheesh!
