Montell Williams Grills PETA President Ingrid Newkirk
Written by Vegetarian Star on August 27th, 2009 in Food & Drink, TV Hosts.
You’ve probably heard by now that PETA has replaced it’s controversial “Save The Whales” billboard featuring an obese woman with one less offensive, but still advocating vegetarianism.
Talk show host Montell Williams recently sat down with PETA’s president Ingrid Newkirk to discuss the billboard.
Williams’ questions whether PETA went too far.
MW: Ingrid, you have admit, come on, I’ve got it, you were controversial, you hit your home run, it went out of the park, I’m talking about it for three days. And the rest of America is going to keep talking about it. But the truth is, I think Joseph is right. Any child who would use that as a reason, or anybody who now says ‘those fat people are people who pick on animals,’ come on, we’ve got to slow down a little bit.
IN: I wish more than anything you can ever imagine that we could not be controversial, and we could not be provocative. I really do.
Montell even suggests why not make it equal opportunity and put men on the billboard versus targeting women.
His daughter, Wyntergrace, is veggie.
Maybe he’s afraid one day she’ll get naked for a campaign!

It’s entirely possible to be vegetarian and fat. While I do support the message PETA is trying to put out there, this is just idiotic.
