Quantcast Vegetarian StarBob Parsons

Is this a face you trust for nutrition advice?

Bob Parons, CEO of the domain hosting company GoDaddy.com, was recently criticized for shooting an elephant (an unarmed one at that) during a trip to Zimbabwe.

Parsons has defended his actions, saying the elephants disturb the farmers’ crops and it was used to feed hungry people.

Wait, there’s more.

Just recently, Parsons told CNN that elephants are a “valuable source of protein.”

We can think of dozens of “valuable sources of protein” that don’t contribute to the extinction of an animal, like beans, nuts, grains, tofu, tempeh, seitan and veggie meats.

Thank  goodness this guy’s not contributing to the USDA food pyramid anytime soon.
