Reformed Fast Food Mascot Roundup
Published December 23, 2008 @ 07:32AM PT
Quick posting this morning because I have a pit bull who needs to get to the vet's office (I keep telling her that she could stop messing up her nails and paws if she would stop clumsily, frantically running up and down the outside steps at the speed of lightning--very, very happy lightning--but she doesn't listen).
It's been a while since I've linked to the Reformed Fast Food Mascot, but this is no indication that my love has waned. As proof, I send you there today.

The "Animal Compassionate Standards" of Whole Foods
"Every company that sells animal products now has a section on their website about their commitment to the humane treatment of the soon-to-be slaughtered animals." Now let David of the RFFM explain the problem with this.

The editor of National Provisioner warns her readers about animal-rights activists
When will the oppression of livestock producers and agribusiness executives end? Everywhere you look, livestock producers are living with the fear of bad PR and reduced profits. Those greedy vegans by refusing to consume animal products are taking money out of the paychecks of deserving agribusiness executives, forcing them to downgrade to inferior country clubs, to drive less prestigious models of luxury cars.
When you encounter the fear and suffering of an agribusiness executive doomed to receive a smaller Christmas bonus, it's enough to bring tears to your eyes. Courageous undercover activists have made videos of terrified agribusiness executives in unimaginably horrific office conditions. These videos are not for the squeamish. It's pretty graphic stuff. One video showing a harried executive forced to work overtime to write a PR release defending his company's skinning a hog while it was still alive is especially heart-rending. This executive had worked long hours all week and now he has to suffer the pain and humiliation of defending his company from a perfectly sensible business practice? When will the madness end?
These greedy, heartless animal rights advocates want to deprive livestock producers of their god given right to earn vast sums of money and to slaughter animals as we see fit. They slander our good name. We must put a stop to the barbaric treatment of livestock producers and agribusiness executives today.
There's more. Read it here.

And finally, on progressive meat-eating, the Reformed Fast Food Mascot pulls no punches. Be warned before reading that you will find no sugarcoating here. But the delicious sarcasm and wit that makes RFFM what it is? There is plenty of that:

Stephanie Ernst is an independent animal rights advocate, a vegan, a tree-hugging environmentalist, and a freelance editor and writer. She lives in St. Louis with an aging corgi-lab and an adolescent rescued pit bull. In her advocacy, she works to challenge prevailing perceptions of animals, to show the connections between animal exploitation and other injustices, to help people see that animals are more like us than different, and to encourage compassionate, nonviolent living and eating.
"Spend a day handing out leaflets explaining the plight of agribusiness executives and how people can help ease their suffering by increasing their consumption of meat and dairy products."
I almost laughed at how ridiculous this all sounds. Is she being sarcastic, or is she just really, really stupid? It doesn't take a genius to figure this one out.
