PETA Stages Vegetarian 'Love-In' in Idaho (Yahoo-news)
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=817&e=8&u=/ap/vegetarian_love_in

{

BOISE, Idaho - The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals staged a 'Live Make-Out Tour' on Friday to promote vegetarian eating.

The event — in which a scantily clad couple make out in a bed set up on a city sidewalk — is meant to demonstrate PETA's claims that vegetarians are better lovers, PETA spokesman Ravi Chand said.

Additional activists were to pass out information about the health benefits of vegan living.

4. Better PETA than the cult of carnivorism.
I have a right to think eating animals is immoral.

6. And exactly how
does this draw attention to the plight of animals? Sounds to me like nothing more than a cheap publicity stunt.

Oddly enough, that's just what it is...

8. Sometimes i wonder if PETA is a front group for the beef industry
"We'll turn people off so much they will eat meat!"
