Liz Hurley Targeted For “Healthy” Dinners Containing Meat

Celebrities can be either praised or condemned by groups like PETA for their actions involving animals and the planet. In this case, Liz Hurley is getting the latter of the treatment as she is being criticized for using meat in her upcoming line of pre-packaged meals, advertised as both “healthy” and “low-fat.”
“Animal products, which are typically loaded with saturated fat and cholesterol, are far from being healthy,” said Yvonne Taylor, PETA representative, in a written letter.
“Won’t you please consider promoting a truly healthy, low-fat vegetarian diet? A vegetarian diet not only reduces the risk of cancer, heart disease and numerous other life-threatening illnesses but is also a far kinder diet for animals who need not have their lives cut short to please our palates.”
PETA is also urging Hurley to spare the life of a piglet that she is rearing on her personal farm.
“Just as you would cringe at shipping Emily (Hurley’s dog) off to slaughter, you should also be reluctant to betray a pig who you have cared for and befriended.”
No word on the type of meal Hurley plans to use the piglet for, but we can’t help but agree with the last statement and think Hurley should keep pets off the plate.
