Controversial PETA Ad is Just Plain Wrong
PETA has one great marketing team; they’ve clothed Cloris Leachman in a dress made of cabbage leaves and de-clothed Alicia Silverstone for a controversial nude PETA ad. However, their latest ad campaign on a Jackonsville Florida billboard doesn’t involve any celebrities but it has meat-lovers in a frenzy. The ad implies that obese women are like whales and if they go vegetarian they will be thin. The text reads as: Save the Whales. Lose the Blubber: Go Vegetarian.
Scott Johnson, a local reporter with WJXT interviewed the PETA representative Ashley Byrne and she claims that the ad is a humorous way to grab people’s attention. She said,
“People are bombarded with ads for foods that make them fat and unhealthy. PETA’s ad campaign is empowering for consumers because it highlights that a vegetarian diet is the best way to battle the bulge.”
Celeb Diet Doc
The PETA folks are off base here. What’s making people fat are vegan and vegetarian refined carbs such as sugar, cakes, cookies, bread, crackers, soda etc.
Obesity is caused by consuming too many processed foods, NOT by meat consumption. It is the very reason Atkins has been successful because it eliminates the greatest source of refined calories in the Western diet and that is refined carbs. So if you consume a vegetarian or vegan diet that is primarily refined carbs you’re consuming a junk food diet and you’ll likely be overweight.
The correct answer is to consume more unrefined fruits and veggies. This is the key to weight loss, better health and saving the “whales.” And by the way that’s where Atkins gets it wrong too, because he considered a carb a carb and limited fruit consumption in his diet, mistakenly believing that fruit causes weight gain. Pure rubbish. Whole unrefined fruits will lead to weight loss and better health.
