Silverstone bares all for vegetarianism
Alicia Silverstone Bares All in New Veggie Testimonial
Actress Alicia Silverstone’s latest role is that of a glisteningly vegetarian Venus, emerging unclothed from a swimming pool to promote People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ goveg.com campaign in a TV ad premiering today in Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth…. “I’m Alicia Silverstone, and I’m a vegetarian,” Silverstone says. She’s also naked, as evidenced by a brief flash of dorsal nudity about six seconds into the 30-second spot, which will air about two dozen times this week on the Food Network, Lifetime and E!. PETA spokesman Michael McGraw said Houston and D-FW were chosen for the rollout of the Silverstone ad, directed by music video director Dave Meyers, because they annually rank near the top of the Men’s Fitness magazine list of the nation’s fattest cities…. “PETA encourages people to go vegetarian for just a week and see how they feel,” McGraw said…. “Our new campaign underscores how being vegetarian does your body good, and Alicia looks incredible in this ad. She is proof positive that nothing is better for your body than going vegetarian.”
OK, so going vegetarian may not be a bad thing…but isn’t it great when young, attractive women get naked in support of whatever their cause happens to be?
I spent several years as a vegetarian, but I had two problems. One, while I don’t eat red meat, I really do enjoy fish and poultry. Two, I don’t look nearly as fabulous naked as Alicia Silverstone. While I still believe that going vegetarian is a worthwhile and noble pursuit, it just didn’t work for me. Of course, if a few more attractive young women want to get naked in an effort to bring me back into the fold, who am I to say no??
