Promoting vegetarianism - creative ad



Popular Filipino actress-model Alicia Mayer poses for a campaign advertisement for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) clad only in fresh lettuce to promote vegetarianism, in Manila, Philippines.

4. true, actually in several ways
not only fewer farting cows, but also fewer resources as far as the amount of food it takes to grow a cow as opposed to how much food you get out of it.

I personally don't have a problem with the idea of people eating meat, but I am glad more people are realizing that our current levels of consumption are bad for us, the livestock, and the planet. I also try not to get preachy about things: honestly I've gotten more grief from meat eaters than the other way around, which is why I almost never discuss it unless someone asks me about it.

2. um...okay. I don't completely get the lettuce bikini.
Is that supposed to encourage men to eat more lettuce?

9. You're right. They look oddly large.
Those are at least a D cup. Probably DD.
It would have been cooler to get a flat chested woman with grapefruits under a lettuce bikini top. And the bikini bottom would be made of bean sprouts (for a shaggy effect).

15. Mine don't fit my body either
But they're real :P Some of us are just "blessed" like that (though my back considers it to be more of a curse).

19. Some are opposite, but you don't see women going out
for butt enlargement implants. They look real to me because they don't have that grapefruit look that a lot of Victoria's Secret's models.

13. I've heard cabbage leaves in a bra help to relieve milk engorgement
Maybe she just had a baby and her milk came in. That'd explain the topheaviness.

26. I Disagree. After Looking At The Pic I Want A Big Juicy Steak And My Wife To Come Home.
Doesn't make me want in any way, shape or form want to even think about becoming a vegetarian though.
