Feeding children meat is child abuse

According to PETA. And no, I'm not exaggerating.

Funny how the poster shows the kid eating a burger, which is far more likely to be unhealthy than, say, a grilled steak or sushi.

Maybe it'll make people think twice but saying 'child abuse' is going a bit far. There are plenty of healthy ways to eat meat - and there are plenty of ways to be an unhealthy vegetarian.

Still, it got them in the news again.

PETA against meat? Is this really news?

stokecity_m · 8 Apr 2011 at 21:12

It just makes the group PETA look stupid, and so weakening any effect their group my have.

Depends what meat it is.

Pfft needs someone to come along with a spray can, rub out "Meat" and put "macdonalds" in it's place. Then at least it's semi correct :/

on an off topic note, i'm disapointed your avatar and name have changed back

EDIT: someone should graffiti http://www.keziefoods.co.uk on to the banner

What about feeding Pancakes to kids?

Sorry couldn't..........help.................myself.

On a serious note, as the OP says it's just PETA getting themselves media coverage with an outrageous claim. Shame they have to stoop to that level really.

Well, if it converts a few people then it will have worked. I don't think it makes them look stupid as such, enough people know they are hardliners.

Is there a debate about this somewhere?

PETA is a huge hypocritical mess already.

This just adds some jet fuel to the fire.

Idiots being idiots, it's no surprise really.

PETA are utter scum if you look into them anyway.

Surely never feeding your child meat is also child abuse?

Pinkribbonscars · 8 Apr 2011 at 21:32

What the hell is an American woman doing worrying about childhood obesity in Merthyr? Keep your anti-humanity animal worshipping for your own people!

:rolleyes:

at the BBC interviews - both at least partly in support of it, I bet they asked hundreds of people for opinions before they found some that weren't opposed to it.

Given we are descendants of our great ancestors who lived on nothing but meat, im not going to quit eating my Aberdeen Angus steak anytime soon and neither should the kids

Who are the ancestors you speak of only eating meat? Link?

wannabedamned · 8 Apr 2011 at 21:34

I tried my first kangaroo burger today, was nice! Although the meat was a little bit springy.
