In case you missed it, and I did, yesterday was “Eat an Animal for PETA Day”.

According to Meryl Yourish

“PETA has started yet another offensive ad campaign. This one really reaches bottom—they are using Holocaust terminology, quotes, and pictures to liken the slaughter” of animals to the slaughter of the Jews by the Nazis.
I’ve already received a letter from a child of Holocaust survivors who is, of course, extraordinarily offended. But here’s the thing: PETA is known for this kind of outrageous publicity stunt—and that’s what it is, an outrageous publicity stunt—and while I am also offended and outraged, there is absolutely nothing we can do that will make PETA change their ad campaign. I’m sure they knew exactly what they were doing, have a plan in mind, and, if they withdraw the campaign, will do it according to their deadlines and their decisions.”So let’s make up our own outrageous publicity stunt. Let’s designate… March 15th, as International Eat an Animal for PETA Day. Everybody set the date on your calendar, and either go out and enjoy a great steak, or cook one at home. Or cook up some chicken or fish or anything else that PETA wouldn’t want you to eat. “

Actually, I unintentionally celebrated yesterday by eating a nice huge section of a yummy beef roast. Slow Roasted to perfection. And served it to my meat eating husband and meat eating children. Yum. That cow was tasty.

So, in case you missed the actual celebration - Chow down on meat today. It tastes great, and it is for a good cause. I think I’m going to go cook that bacon now…
