Animal rights activist were training the cows to convert to a strict Atkins diet by throwing tender sirloins in pastures in the middle of the night. Cows, which have spent the last 20 million years almost exclusively as vegetarians, were surprisingly attracted to their new red meat diet.

"We believe that Americans are eating too much red meat," says PETA member Don Rider. "If cows become skinny, humans will have to look to alternative sources of meat, like pigs, and at PETA we don't protect pigs." Rider acknowledges that pigs are animals like all of us and probably worth saving but, "We just don't dig on swine, that's all."
