Everyone could use a big wiener now and then. That’s why Peta brought models to Washington, D.C. dressed in veggie bikini wear to pass out faux hot dogs during National Hot Dog Month–without the animal protein. Last year, Playmate Jayde Nicole served up soy dogs and fixings, while this year model Vida Guerra gave the event some extra spice as she dressed in a swimsuit with dangling peppers and offered chili dogs to passersby on Capitol Hill.
It doesn’t get any more patriotic than this.
Between the two champs trying to save the country from processed meats, cancer and heart attacks…Who would you rather…
Jayde Nicole spent the day at Six Flags with her friend Jesse Waits and the two had fun on the skycoaster bungee ride at Magic Mountain theme park.
After the event, Jayde took to Twitter to talk about the experience and tell everyone what she ate for the evening.
“Eating a giant plate of veggies and chugging water! Starting a health kick NOW.. Tips to come daily xox”
Jayde’s already a vegetarian, so the Playmate who served veggie hot dogs on Capitol Hill must be getting ready to rid the vegan junk food from her diet.
Good thing Jayde ate the plate of veggies after the ride and not before–vegetables are great steamed, friend, baked and raw, but never regurgitated.
The idea is to create sex appeal and get your attention in hopes of turning you on (pun intended) to the veg lifestyle. But how effective is it?
Tony Pierce weighs in on PETA’s campaigns at latimesblogs.latimes.com. His response? Sure, they’re hot, but does being nude with veggie wieners convey any factual information?
“Here’s what PETA should realize: Men can change their ways, and yes, women could be the impetus that could lead us toward healthier diet, which in turn could also lead to a better world. But attractive, mostly naked women, in public places, doing weird and wild things, are feeding into male fantasies, as opposed to repulsing our animalistic impulses.”
He then highlights a similar campaign using nude women in an outdoor shower, with a banner that reads, “Wash Your Conscience-Go Vegetarian.”
“The German women to the right have an approach that I can get behind. Although this banner says “Wash your conscience clean — become vegetarian,” a different sign from the same demonstration in Frankfurt this week claimed that it takes 2,500 gallons of water to produce a pound of ground beef. While studies vary as to exactly how much water is needed for cattle, a regularly quoted Newsweek line claims that “the water that goes into a 1,000-pound steer would float a destroyer.”
“At the risk of alienating myself from the rest of my bachelor brotherhood, I have to say that this sort of logic actually speaks to me: “Before you order that chili burger from Tommy’s or that steak at Ruth’s Chris, think about what it took to create that delicious dish, and in the case of beef, it took lots and lots and lots of water. Water that could be used for more important things than the red meat that will please your palate but will rot your intestines.”
Looks like men need their brains turned on as much as other parts. Read the rest of Tony’s article.
Jayde Nicole, 2008 Playmate of the Year, and Jo Garcia put on their freshest cabbage leaves and served veggie dogs to politicians and other folks passing by while promoting a vegetarian diet and lifestyle.
Ironically, this year’s Playmate of the Year, Ida Ljungqvist, is vegetarian as well.
Is there a pattern happening here? We sure hope so!
