V for Veggie!

Updater in action Last thursday, Philippine Daily Inquirer released the photo of FHM cover model Alicia Meyer holding a plackard saying: " Let Vegetarianism Grow On You!" while wearing only lettuce bikini . This ad frome People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) aims to promote the pro-vegetarian campaign.

Alicia who is a vegetarian recommends people to practice or embrace a healthy, humane and delicious meatless diet. According to her statement: " I'm asking people to turn over a new leaf and go vegetarian," and “With so many delicious alternatives now available, it's easier than ever to enjoy great food without causing animal suffering."

Aside from Alicia, local celebrities such as Diether Ocampo, Ornussa Cadness, and Borgy Manotoc already posed for the ad campaign of PETA. In addition, this artists did this shoot for free.

My Insights
I'm glad to see this add campaign especially the fact that it is supported by our local artist. And that they’re using their fame for animal protection. I believe that animal abuse is really a serious issue that needs to be solved as soonest as possible. Aside from human, animals have also rights to live and be free. I also believe on the statement of Alicia Meyer that we must practice or embrace a healthy, humane and delicious meatless diet. You don’t have to kill an animal just to feed you hungry stomach. There are a lot of alternatives to satisfy your hunger. Instead of meat, why don’t you go on Veggie. Aside from it’s cheaper, it healthier. You can also substitute tofu for your meat. But honestly speaking, for me, I think its really hard to go from meat eater to vegetarian. Anyway, I'm looking forward to become a vegetarian this year.
