Obama and Dmitry Medvedev Ray's Hell

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is asking the White House to ban photo ops of President Obama, Vice President Biden and other Executive staff members eating meat dishes such as burgers and hot dogs.

Such products are linked to diseases like obesity and cancer and the group compares these photographs to advertisements promoting other unhealthy habits, such as smoking.

In what may be the most humorous ad released by the group yet, PETA is capitalizing on the controversy of whether or not Obama was born in the United States.

At Donald Trump‘s request, the President released his birth certificate, showing he was born in Hawaii.

PETA took the opportunity to remind people they don’t need papers to certify any dog’s birth and whether or not it’s a purebred or a mutt.

President Obama has been smoke-free for an entire year!

The First Lady made the announcement to reporters during lunch in the Old Family Dining Room at the White House while discussing her Let’s Move! initiative to get America healthier.

Michelle said it was the president’s desire to be able to look his daughters in the eye and say he didn’t smoke that motivated him.

Vegetarians and vegans who still huff and puff have another reason to kick the habit. Some cigarette filters contain pig’s blood and that definitely ain’t veg!

Dutch researchers discovered that pig hemoglobin is often found in the filters, but not listed specifically as an ingredient. Instead, terms such as “processing aids” are used.

Barack Obama

December is proving to be nothing but “lame” on Capitol Hill, especially when it comes to animal welfare laws.

Just days after banning crush videos, President Obama has signed the Truth in Fur Labeling Act (H.R. 2480), which made its final route through Congress in the Senate earlier this month.

The new law closes the loophole in an already existing law that allows real fur to go unlabelled as such if the garment is worth $150 or less.
