James Willstrop Vegetarian PSA Helps Squash Obesity
Written by Vegetarian Star on September 14th, 2009 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Food & Drink.
Britain’s #2 squash player, James Willstrop, is starring in a vegetarian PSA, letting viewers know how they can “squash” obesity.
Yeah, this is sure to cause less controversy than that other obesity ad PETA put on a billboard.
“I had first heard about PETA through Morrissey actually,” Willstrop said.
“I’m very keen to support animals, and I liked what PETA were doing, so I got in touch because I wanted to make it known that meat is totally unnecessary, and detrimental, to a world-class athlete. People laugh at me when I tell them, and I can’t for one minute believe that so many people find it perfectly natural to mercilessly slaughter animals and devour them for their own gratification. I did it once, but having seen the atrocity that is the battery farm, I want to convey to people to stop and actually think that they are eating dead, slaughtered flesh that has been battered around, tortured and plied with nasty chemicals.”
