It would be easier to take PETA seriously if they didn't have so much chicken embryo all over their collective faces.
Ahh, OK. So it's ok to abuse plants, eh? You're OK with slash-and-burn farming and deforestation since, after all, they're only plants?Originally posted by: Leetman

Tofu is a plant.
According to World Hunger Year, 12.5% of the US population does not have enough food, yet PETA is willing to waste a sizeable amount of food that these people could have been eating, just to prove their sensationalistic point (which, I might add, has little to do with ethical treatment of animals, and more to do with pushing propaganda).Tofu is abundant and there's no danger of a tofu shortage anytime soon.
Most porn stars can at least convincingly act like they are having a good time, I'm sure.Those women look like they're having fun.

Perhaps PETA should work on setting these people up on vegan diets to push their agenda instead of throwing away a food.

Fact is, many women's studies scholars believe that this kind of advertising dehumanizes women and actually implicitly promotes violence against women, and that the only reason they do willingly do this is closely tied to the only reason that people continue to insist on eating meat - because they just always have.
But I guess that's OK, as long is it's a plant or a human.
What ever good PETA's message may have is obscured by their sensationalist politics. But I can play that lame game, too.

I was referring to the fact that plants, unlike animals, do not feel pain and were not being "abused" as you put it. I fail to see how that relates to deforestation of any type.
I'm not going to go into how I feel about that 12.5% who probably spent all of their money on cocaine and booze. But I agree, PETA supplying them with vegan food would be cool, even though most of them probably don't deserve the help, I'm sure at least some of them do, and I would actually be interested in seeing to it that something like this could happen.
I can't argue your point on women, because it's the truth. The reasoning PETA did such a thing was most likely someone in their marketing dept. hoping to hit different groups of people with a video like this. Somewhat ignorant on their part as well.
I support PETA's message, but politics have really crappy up the organization somewhat. Unfortunetly, there aren't as many other similar organizations as there could be, which makes PETA somewhat the only choice.
Well, in a way, I suppose that's my point. What does a couple of porn stars rolling on tofu have to do with not torturing cows and chickens on feedlots? Or even taking up a vegan diet? About as much as it has to do with deforestation..Originally posted by: Leetman

I'm not really concerned about the cause of these people's hunger. Bottom line is that there are plenty of people going hungry, and it's counterproductive to waste food just to make a point. I hate wasting food probably about as much as I hate torturing animals.I'm not going to go into how I feel about that 12.5% who probably spent all of their money on cocaine and booze.

Bad call on the part of plants not feeling pain. Too lazy to dig them up, but plants do sense "danger" and respond to stimuli such as a knife in the tree. Just because they cannot express it vocally doesn't mean they aren't in pain.
How about I go stab someone who is mute and also paralyzed? HE FEELS NO PAIN!! HONEST. Pish Posh, go back to your soy farm.
BTW, soy farms are just as bad as regular farms in terms of land exhaustion, runoff, and fertilizer dependency.
