For PETA’s latest campaign to encourage a vegetarian lifestyle, they have targeted the overweight. The ‘Save the Whales’ Campaign shows the back of a large woman in a bikini, and the slogan ‘Lose the Blubber, Go Vegetarian.’
While PETA’s goal is admirable, in hoping a vegetarian lifestyle will not only make overweight people healthier but will help the animals, the campaign seems insulting by calling them whales.
