Peta Ad with Alicia Silverstone Pulled

The Peta ad featuring a naked Alicia Silverstone promoting a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle was axed at the last minute by Comcast as it was set to air in Houston on E!, Lifetime and Food Network. Even though it had already been approved to air, Comcast says the reason it was pulled was because of nudity.

Peta had chosen Houston to air the ad because it has the dubious distinction of having some of the most unhealthy eating habits in America. Houston was also ranked by Men’s Fitness Magazine as the 6th fattest city in America. The ad implied that a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle can give you a beautiful body, although it obviously seemed to rile up a few feathers in the Lone Star State.

Here’s the ad that is causing such a stir:

Celebrity Diet Doctor Weigh in…
Wow, less than 24 hours and this ad is making news again! Remember just because a food is vegan or vegetarian does not mean it’s healthy. A vegan and vegetarian diet loaded with white flour and sugar is junk. The key is fill your diet with as much unprocessed fruits and veggies as possible.

As far as this controversy is concerned. Someone should tell these Houston Comcast guys to lighten up!
