Yes, PETA is filled with very tall three-year-olds who really crave attention. Get a load of their latest attention-getting project: Selling George Clooney’s sweat. (H/T: Kat)
Just when we thought we’d seen it all from PETA — the animal rights organization known for high-profile celebrity ads — President Ingrid Newkirk has come up with this: George Clooney-flavored tofu.
In a letter sent to the actor, Newkirk said that PETA has been offered his gym towel (obtained right here in D.C.!) and wants to use his sweat to create Clooney tofu that will “spare animals from being killed for the table.” She went on to explain that the science is pretty simple, like “making artificial chicken flavor for instant gravy.”
Of course, it’s simply a publicity stunt. As for Clooney, he’s firmly in the “Ew!” column:
“As a mammal, I’m offended,” he told us yesterday through his rep.
March 15th is International Eat A Tasty Animal for PETA Day. Chow down on real food, not imaginary food made with sweat. (Ew. Ew. Ew.)
This is reminding me of “HuFu” —
Hufu, the human-flavored tofu. If it had a hechsher, I would have bought some!
oops, the link was just
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hufu
I modestly offer the motto that inspires me every EATAPETA Day: “March 15–If It Didn’t Have a Mother, It’s Not On My Menu.”
I will have my traditional food–turkey sausage for breakfast. Just to show them where I stand, lunch will be a hamburger at McDonald’s. Dinner–depends on whther I decide little lambies or cute cavles are more adorable this year; duckies are also cute, of course.
Wouldn’t tofu made with sweat violate several food safety laws?

Don’t forget those adorable Sea-Kittens!
Sunday Brunch will be heavy on meat and eggs (breakfast most days is a bagel with cream cheese). I took out from the freezer two large chops for Sunday dinner, although I might cook the slab of corned beef I’ve got in the fridge instead. In your face, PETA.
Wonder if the PETA members are Cathars?
“Nothing eaten created from coition”
Today will be turkey tenderloins, roasted potatoes, steamed veggies with butter followed by apple crisp and vanilla bean ice cream.
Not sure about breakfast yet.
