PETA has a huge audience, they can get their message out without some of these sensationalist tactics. This really has the potential to backfire. Because they're so huge, I think they have a responsibility to behave more rationally. Whereas, the Lettuce Lady campaign wouldn't be my first suggestion, they're using tried and true marketing techniques (sex sells), this campaign isn't going to entice anyone to try vegan products (is human breastmilk a vegan product?), it will just make people think vegans are insane. Here's to more vegans in the world. Hi Quarrygirl,
I get what their intention is…. but I really think this makes us (vegans) all look ridiculous. PETA has a huge audience, they can get their message out without some of these sensationalist tactics. This really has the potential to backfire. Because they’re so huge, I think they have a responsibility to behave more rationally.

Here’s to more vegans in the world.
