Comments Off on That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals Gets Rave Celebrity Reviews
Not ready to let your 5 year old watch an animal being skinned alive yet? No problem!
For any parent looking for a children’s book to introduce some arguments on choosing the vegetarian lifestyle, That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals, is a great start.
Author Ruby Roth uses a gentler approach (no slaughterhouse pics included) to teach children about the relationship between the food on their plate and animal suffering and even touches on environmental issues.
Roth also incites empathy for animals by letting readers know they experience pain, sensitivity, and happiness, which is another way children can relate.
The book is recommended for grades 3-6.
As expected, several notable vegetarians have praised the book, including actor Ed Begley Jr.
“In a time when we are all working to go green, I am thrilled that That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals makes the connection between food and the environment, inspiring children to be aware and involved.”
“This is a powerful and important book. Farm animals have emotions similar to our pets and this is conveyed in Roth’s enchanting illustrations. It will make children – and their parents – think. But it will not lead to nightmares, rather respect and compassion for the creatures whose wellbeing is in our hands.”
“Like many people, I knew as a child that I didn’t want to eat animals. That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals would have offered me the guidance and inspiration I needed to understand those instincts. This book is a must-have for anyone who loves animals.”
That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals was released in May, and can be purchased online.

A couple of months ago, we brought you the news that Naomi Campbell agreed to pose in a series of ads promoting fur clothing by fashion designer Dennis Basso.
Campbell had previously worked with PETA in “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaigns, but withdrew her support after the animal rights group targeted fashion designers.
Naomi added the statement, “I do like wearing fur and I still do.”
Celebrity animal rights activists are appalled and Paul McCartney has written a letter to Campbell, according to the New York Daily News.
According to Campbell, she and PETA have embraced each other with love and all is forgiven.
“Yes, I am still wearing fur,” said Campbell, “but I’ve made up with that guy from Peta.”
Don’t know what Campbell means by “made up with” but we’re sure flashing the former coat of an animal for vain fashion purposes takes a lot more than a kiss and hug for anyone-PETA person or not-to get over.

First Lady Michelle Obama gives a tour of the White House vegetable garden while offering some commentary on what led to her decision to create it.
Like most moms, Mrs. Obama wanted the fam to eat healthier, but found time constraints got in the way.
The garden is just one of the many ways Michelle found time to improve the Obamas diet, including “adding more fruits and vegetables,” sitting down with the family to enjoy a meal “a couple of times a week”, eating out a “little bit less,” and “eliminating processed and sugary foods.”
