Vegetarian Star

Al Gore recently agreed he should have spoken more about the effects of meat eating and the environment.

But that hasn’t stopped PETA Queen Ingrid Newkirk from rubbing in his lack of outspokenness and humiliation during the recent debate where he admitted his faults.

From an article at Huffingtonpost.com titled “Come On Al, Steak or the Earth?”:

“That’s why he has only himself to blame for the blows dealt him this week from the BBC’s Mr. Paxman, ABC’s Ms. Sawyer and other commentators. Yes, he’s the son of a Black Angus rancher. My father climbed mountains and went out in to the ocean in small boats during storms, but I’m not following suit. He protests that eating meat is a “personal choice” and tries to excuse his penchant for a daily steak (sometimes two, we hear from a reliable source) because he finds it “too hard” to “give up” meat? Driving a Hummer for the hell of it is a personal choice, and how hard can it be to go vegetarian when this week’s New York Times list of best-selling hardback advice books shows chef Tal Ronnen’s The Conscious Cook sitting pretty at number three and Alicia Silverstone’s The Kind Diet at number five? Both are vegan — not just vegetarian — cookbooks that I dare anyone to open without drooling. Last week, Chipotle at Dupont Circle in Washington test-marketed a Gardein vegan “chicken” burrito. It sold out almost instantly, and an emergency supply of these delicious little medallions of soy protein had to be dispatched to meet demand.”

No one says it quite like Ingrid!
