Uh, me of course! But seriously, not only are these tactics more than a little sexist, they're also pretty ineffective. I think Peta's in-your-face advertising scares away more potential vegetarians that it attracts. What we eat is one of the most basic and personal choices that we have to make, and I think that if you want to engage people on the issue, you really have to treat them respectfully rather than bashing them over the head.

What's mentioned in this article is hardly the worst of what they do, but how often they, in my opinion, oppressively use women's bodies in order to try and make the point that we are oppressing animals makes me want to tear my hair out.
