PETA vs. Oscar the Grouch

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has taken issue with Sesame Workshop for signing up the American Egg Board (AEB) as a corporate sponsor for "Sesame Street."



PETA said eggs are produced under conditions of "horrible abuse" and are unwholesome, and it noted that it had sent Sesame Workshop "extensive evidence" of this but that the producer refused to terminate its partnership with AEB.



PETA - an industrial activist group that, like HSUS, promotes vegetarianism - encouraged its members to write Sesame Workshop expressing their displeasure.



For its part, Sesame Workshop said its programming is made available due in part to corporate sponsors, and it maintains complete editorial independence of that programming.



AEB became a "Sesame Street" sponsor as part of the board's "Good Egg Project" to educate adults and youth as to how eggs are produced and their nutritional value.



Some people have way too much time on their hands ... go get them Oscar!

Russ, This is why I fought so hard to get a secret photo of the president of PETA. Those of you that haven't seen it yet can view it on my profile page.

Tomorrow morning I'm going to wake up and make a whole plate of scrambled eggs with bacon and not give one thought to them sitting around a drum circle eating Tofu and Soy milk. I'll never know why they care so much about what all the normal people eat Being on top of the food chain is what it's all about

I still love that picture!!!

if your a vegetarian "crap" is a vegetable
